AFAD is growing in strength year after year. This year had a really impressive line of speakers covering a wide range of issues and skills needed to grow the farm animal welfare advocacy movement in Asia. Well done to AFA for leading the organizing committee.

It's great to see so many committed, caring people working to improve welfare for farmed animals in Asia and this is a great format to share information and support each other.
Yuki Takahashi, Animal Rights Center Japan
Thank you for strengthening the network among activists in Asia. Sometimes we need information about neighboring countries or trade partners, and it's useful to have personal contacts in those countries for fast, accurate information, especially across language barriers.
Christine Xu, Aquatic Life Institute

AFAD event helps me see the light of opportunity for organizations in Asia to improve the food system to become more sustainable and humane. We need to work harder at regional level and gain more power to change the game.”
