I can’t help, but think this is a super important question. In Uganda here battery farmed hens are a way out of poverty for people here, and often promoted/subsidised by NGOs and big international aid. Without an economic solution (whether carrot or stick) I’m not sure how the oncoming flood of battery hen farming in Africa can be stemmed
I quite agree, animal welfare is not a thing here in Nigeria. It will take more than just advocacy to achieve a cage-free farming and an improved animal welfare. So my thinking is, offer support to those who want to transition to cage-free systems. Who offsets their investment?
