OUR MISSION

Sinergia Animal works to create a kinder future, where factory farming no longer exists anD no animals need to suffer for food production in the global south.

Our History

At the start, Sinergia Animal was just four people, and we had no money between us. Together, we boldly led pressure campaigns to persuade food giants in Latin America to do better for animals. Fast forward to today, and we've grown into a team of more than 80 passionate advocates working in eight countries. We expanded our tactics on multiple fronts to shape a more promising future for farmed animals in Latin America and Southeast Asia.
