Hello, my name is Lizzie.

I’m a researcher in animal welfare and sustainable livestock systems. My work focuses on how we can give farmed animals a better life and produce food in a way that helps rather than harms the planet.

I love my work because it enables me to fulfil what I feel is my purpose in life – striving to protect the natural world and to make the planet a better place for all the animals we share it with, both wild and domestic.

However, being constantly faced with the animal suffering and environmental destruction produced by our modern-day agricultural practices causes me a lot of sadness.

Therefore, I came to the realisation that as well as researching and advocating for higher welfare, sustainable systems, I wanted to become part of the solution myself. I wanted to see if I could showcase a way to create nutritious and delicious food by giving the animals that produce it a good life, whilst solving some of the damage we’re doing to the planet.

So I started ‘Leaf and Feather’, to produce Eco Eggs from Happy Hens. Find out more in the ‘animal welfare’ and ‘environment’ tabs.
