Daisy Freund is the vice president of farm animal welfare for the ASPCA. In her role, Daisy oversees the organization’s strategy for public education, corporate engagement, policy advocacy and grant-making aimed at improving farmed animals’ lives by shifting the food system away from factory farming toward more humane farming practices. Daisy joined the ASPCA in 2012 to help design the organization’s farm animal protection program. Today the ASPCA’s resources are used by more than 1 million consumers annually to find welfare-certified products. Daisy and her team have advised over 400 food brands on their animal welfare policies, and are advancing a broad platform of legislative reforms to build a more humane, pasture-based farming system. Before joining the ASPCA, Daisy worked with livestock at Glynwood Farm in the Hudson Valley, managed a social enterprise restaurant in Rwanda and received a master’s degree from Università degli Studi di Scienze Gastronomiche in Italy.
