Compassion in World Farming USA has been working on this since at least 2014. You may want to listen to this interview with Leah Garces, former Executive Director. Start listening at 18:20.
Thanks, I am glad hear that they are working on that. It does sound a bit different than what I had in mind in that(judging only from the podcast you linked to) they are much more focused on welfare issues rather than economic ones. This surely has benefits that focusing on economics doesn’t, but I wonder if in a separate project/film, they could reach a wider audience by making a mostly economic case
In the podcast, Leah makes the case the economic case for farmers starting at 39:00. Farmers aren’t going to be listen to Our Hen House, but presumably Compassion in World Farming USA is making arguments appropriate for each audience.
Also, this very popular clip with John Oliver is heavily focused on the bad economics of chicken contract farming for the farmers. This was likely influenced by Compassion in World Farming USA’s work.
