Curious about how advocates in China and Southeast Asia are using research to drive change? Explore our latest study, Research And Data As Tools In Advocates’ Decision-Making: A Focus On China & Southeast Asia, by the Good Growth team with our partners at Faunalytics. In this report, based on focus group discussions with 16 organisations across Asia, we discuss: 1. How advocates leverage research to set priorities, refine strategies, and influence key stakeholders. 2. The barriers and enablers shaping effective research use in the region. 3. How collaboration with stakeholders like farmers and corporations throughout the research engagement process enhances research impact. The role of improved data access in strengthening advocacy efforts. Learn how these insights are transforming animal advocacy in Asia—and how you can use them to improve your own work!

Our new report in collaboration with Faunalytics surveyed nearly 200 animal advocacy organizations across the world, and conducted six small focus-group discussions, to explore the diverse approaches taken by farmed animal protection groups globally. Findings reveal an advocacy landscape where organizations are often implementing multiple strategies, and are also interested in exploring new approaches. Some key findings: -An organization’s capacity to explore or adopt new strategies is highly dependent on the availability of resources. Organizations frequently struggle with financial and staffing constraints that limit their ability to expand. -Advocates hoping to explore different approaches may be more interested in pursuing policy advocacy than corporate advocacy, because there are potentially fewer barriers to entry and less stigma. -Diverse global contexts restrict the viability of existing advocacy approaches in ways that foreign funders may not understand or anticipate. The full report, with key findings and recommendations for advocates, researchers, and funders is available here: https://lnkd.in/gvhXpjcg

We've had a great time working with The Good Food Institute APAC on a six-country mixed-methods study on Southeast Asian consumer perceptions of meat and plant-based meat consumption. Findings indicate that those most interested in and currently consume plant-based meat are more likely to be 35-44, more physically active and also perhaps surprisingly, more likely to want to consume MORE (conventional) meat. Come join the webinar this Wednesday 21 Feb at 3pm (GMT+8, HKT/SGT) to learn our finding highlights: https://lnkd.in/g4CkHBPS
