Philip Lymbery is chief executive of leading international farm animal welfare organisation, Compassion in World Farming (Compassion), and Visiting Professor at the University of Winchester. His book, Farmageddon: The True Cost of Cheap Meat, was chosen as one of The Times Writers' Books of the Year in 2014, and was cited by the Mail on Sunday as a compelling 'game-changer'. He played leading roles in many major animal welfare reforms, including Europe-wide bans on veal crates for calves and barren battery cages for laying hens. Described as one of the food industry's most influential people, he has spearheaded Compassion's engagement work with over 700 food companies worldwide, leading to real improvements in the lives of over three quarters of a billion farm animals every year.
