Testimonials
"Collaborating with Animal Outlook’s Farm Transitions Program on the inception and initial steps of the Cultiva Project was fundamental for the development of our farm transition project in Brazil, and I'm incredibly grateful for the guidance. I believe the Farm Transitions Broadcast Program is a crucial resource for organizations worldwide, regardless of their specific production systems. While it's true there's no "one solution fits all", and that each country and region will have their own challenges, opportunities and aspirations, Animal Outlook's knowledge and experience came handy precisely because they understand they're not there to provide strict rules and methods, but more to provide insights and show possible pathways in a generous and humble way. Thus, Animal Outlook's Farm Transitions Program is inspiring others and scaling up, helping create a more sustainable and compassionate future." - Aline Baroni, Country Director - ProVeg Brasil
