Project Animal Farm is generating a whirlwind of rave reviews! The book has been all over the news. There’s also a series of brand-new podcasts for you to tune in to. The book launch events in New York, Boston, and Toronto were successful, and more fun events are coming up in the fall!

“Faruqi’s style is clear and direct, and her analysis good,” describes
Toronto Star in a three-page story. “…She’s iron-willed, obsessively organized and brave.”
“Faruqi documents the state of animal welfare on large factory farms, small traditional operations, and many things in between in her book,
Project Animal Farm,” writes
Boston Globe.
“One thing’s for sure: your food will never again look the same,” states
Salon.
“The book is like sitting down for a cup of tea with a friend, only to be swallowed into a long story filled with quirky characters and random encounters, an escapade through farms and the people who work them,” writes
Metro Canada. “It’s a good read, and for those who care how our food is farmed, a very good place to start.”
“So engaging….eye opening,” praises
National Post.
“Always captivating,” says
Huffington Post.
“Sonia Faruqi’s new book
Project Animal Farm dives into the depths of the animal agriculture industry and emerges with some important messages and inspiring suggestions on the future of food,” writes
Food Tank. “Engaging and informative.”
LISTEN IN
In addition to the crisp and clear
Project Animal Farm audiobook, you can listen to one of more than a dozen podcasts. I spoke for half an hour with
Leonard Lopate in-studio in New York about the hidden world of global food. I spoke for 20 minutes with investigative outfit
ProPublica about the environmental costs of factory farms. In addition, I had conversations with
Saturday Morning Talkies in California,
Green Majority Media in Toronto, the
Tommy Schnurmacher Show in Montreal, and many more. Click
