We use information supplied by the charity to provide a more detailed analysis of each of these four factors. In this criterion, we assess the effectiveness of each of the charity’s programs by analyzing (i) the interventions each program uses, (ii) the outcomes those interventions work toward, (iii) the countries in which the program takes place, and (iv) the groups of animals the program affects. The key aspects that ACE considers when examining a charity’s programs are reviewed in detail below. New Harvest was one of our Standout Charities from December 2015 to November 2017.Ī charity that performs well on this criterion has programs that we expect are highly effective in reducing the suffering of animals. We find New Harvest to be an excellent giving opportunity because of their strong programs aimed at increasing the availability of animal-free products and strengthening the animal advocacy movement. Additionally, New Harvest is one of few charities focusing on cell-cultured alternatives to animal products. We think that New Harvest’s work to conduct and fund research in cellular agriculture has the potential to increase the availability of animal-free products and strengthen the animal advocacy movement in the longer term. Why did we recommend them?ĭeveloping and promoting alternatives to animal products is a promising way to transform the animal agriculture industry. Therefore, it is difficult for us to assess their effectiveness. New Harvest’s community-building and industry-scoping programs have results that are indirect and long-term. Staff members indicate that they are satisfied with their work, and that they perceive the organization is well led. New Harvest’s plans and projections indicate they would be able to effectively utilize an increase in income. New Harvest’s research grants help to increase the availability of animal-free products, which we think is a high priority given its potential to positively impact farmed animal welfare. They also carry out public engagement and community-building activities via their podcast, blog, research publications, and research summaries. Through grant programs, they fund graduate and postdoctoral research projects in the field of cellular agriculture, as well as undergraduate and master-level projects for researchers-in-training. They fund research in cellular agriculture, i.e., the development of animal products using cells instead of animals.
