    Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of $3,000,000 over five years to the Foundation for Food and Agriculture Research (FFAR) to support a request for proposals for projects to reduce the global incidence of keel bone damage in layer hens. This kind of damage causes severe chronic pain for 30 to 100 percent of the world’s 7 billion layer hens.

    This follows our April 2017 support and falls within our focus area of farm animal welfare.
