Review
“Farqui thoughtfully explores the way in which brutality and disregard of animal welfare is endemic in the industry on a global scale, and provides suggestions for realistic actions that readers can take to encourage change. The book begs a comparison to Upton Sinclair's The Jungle.†- Publishers Weekly (starred)“Every so often a book comes along that has the power to alter the course of history. Project Animal Farm is that potent. It is so inspiring, so moving, so deeply personal and yet also has such profound cultural implications, that it will change the lives of everyone who reads it. People will be talking about this book for decades.†- John Robbins, author of DIET FOR A NEW AMERICA and THE FOOD REVOLUTION“Following the lead of other sharp critiques of the food industry, such as David Kirby’s Animal Factory (2010), Michael Pollan’s The Omnivore’s Dilemma (2006), and Jonathan Safran Foer’s Eating Animals (2009), newbie author Faruqi does a commendable job spotlighting the ways animals are mistreated around the globe in order to make their milk and flesh available in our stores. Written with a dry wit and an inspiring dose of crusader’s zeal, resulting in a work that will compel health-conscious and environmentally aware readers as well as those concerned about animal rights.†- Booklist“Into an engaging account of the adventures of a young city dweller among the factory farmers, Sonia Faruqi manages to smuggle a body of useful―and disturbing―information about this most secretive of global enterprises.†- J. M. Coetzee, Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature“Project Animal Farm is an original and thought-provoking exploration of where our food comes from.†- John Mackey, Founder and CEO of Whole Foods Market“The author successfully brings to light less-than-optimal living conditions of farm animals. This title flourishes when highlighting the humanity and well-intentioned nature of farmers, even when they are utilizing horrific practices professionally. This intriguing and accessible debut may find a niche with readers of popular nonfiction in a society increasingly concerned with how our food is produced and where it comes from.†- Library Journal“Let Sonia Faruqi take you on her courageous personal journey of discovery. I thought I already knew everything there is to know about modern animal production, but I learned many new things from this very readable book, and you will, too.†- Peter Singer, philosopher and author of ANIMAL LIBERATION“An extraordinary triumph of narrative nonfiction. A seminal work of investigative journalism.†- David Kirby, author of ANIMAL FACTORY“Brave, captivating, enlightening, and impossible to put down, this remarkable true story pries open hearts and minds and exposes the travesty of industrial farming like none other.†- Frances More Lappé, bestselling author of DIET FOR A SMALL PLANET“Written in the most vivid and engaging way, this remarkable book demands to be read by anyone who cares about where their food comes from.†- Philip Lymbery, CEO of Compassion in World Farming and author of FARMAGEDDON

This book has greatly enlightened me on so many levels in my life. To be honest, I never really thought about animal agriculture and welfare before. I appreciated the author's efforts in sharing her experience which I thought was very brave of her. In the many stories that she shared, I deeply admired her persistence especially in times when she was scared to push the boundaries to find out the truth. Being able to tell stories from various types of farming models, countries helped tell a well balanced story about the agricultural world globally. The knowledge I have gained has empowered me to want to continue learning about this topic. Sometimes, or should I say most of the times, challenges in our food and agriculture system goes unseen and unheard. This book brought light to the many harsh truths that I was not aware of especially in animal agriculture. It is well written and it definitely drew me in to her journey which was also accompanied by the research which hammered in on the issues that was discovered! My blinders are off now thanks to this book and my thinking/ investigative cap is remaining on! I definitely recommend this book to those who never thought that such a topic might be of interest to you. Take a chance on it and enlighten yourself like I did, it is worth it!
Sonia Faruqi reveals a world that most don't know exists and the few who do, choose to ignore its reality. That is the world of animal farming, if this can still be called farming and those poor beings can still be called animals. Farming has become a inhumane industrial process. Animals are seen and treated as pieces of the production process and not like living beings. As pieces, when they get damaged (sick) or are not producing, they are simply thrown away (killed). What's worse is that the farming industry as it is managed has negative effects on animal well being and health, human health, the environment and even the economy. If the industry changed its way of doing things, they would have more income. Yet the local governments turn a blind eye in this inhumane, no productive, and damaging industry. I assume because farmers support the local government in the first place. The book is well researched. Part 1 was very informative, but part 2 started to feel too repetitive and dragging. (That's why I give it 4 stars) Still, this is a book everyone should read.
I devoured this book over the weekend, I found it riveting; I just could not put it down. I wish I could give it to everyone in my life as a gift-- to people I know and love, to people I can't stand, and even to the strangers I cross paths with on the street. This is a must-read for all ages. If you are old enough to eat animals, then you are old enough to know how they are raised and treated in order to be stocked on the supermarket shelves. Sonia Faruqi shared her experiences with such color, humor, thoughtfulness, and delicacy, that even the most sensitive (like myself) are able to keep turning the pages. A truthful, yet relatable insight into the lives of farmers and the reality of cognitive dissonance most people suffer from.
Fascinating, enlightening, equally sad and hopeful. Thank you Sonia for braving the reality and writing so clearly and objectively. Thank you for not just pointing that there is a fire out there, but also an extinguisher. Its really up to us as consumers. We have to demand better. I pray your voice will reach many and encourage us all to make the changes, even small ones, to end the atrocity of factory farming. There's nothing wrong with eating meat, eggs, or dairy, but they are entitled to a decent life before the end and a humane end. I hope one day books will be written to tell how far we have come. Sincerely.
I will be thinking about some of the lessons in this book long after I read the last word. And I think that is a good thing!The author does an excellent job of putting the reader in her shoes - from being a new to the farm city girl to a weary traveler trying to make sense of it all.Docked one point because the last third of the book lost some of the punch and resonance of the beginning. But overall I highly recommend this to anyone interested in learning more about where the food on your table comes from and what it took to get it there.
It's time to give up the blissful ignorance of the story behind industrial "farming". I stopped eating meat back in the 70's when I found out about factory farm conditions and the impact not only on animal welfare but on personal and global health. I appreciate this book for the update, though very saddened to learn the story has grown exponentially worse. We need books like this! I commend the author's courage to witness what she has in order to search for answers and report back what was found, despite the industry's efforts to keep secrets.
How little we know about the agricultural system that affects all of us every day. Sonia Faruqi's incredibly brave journey to farms in 8 countries (often undercover) has insights for us all. In addition to being a great overview of the global food machine, Sonia has practical suggestions. I now shop very differently from how I used to and know what questions to ask when I buy. This book is one of a kind and is a must-read for everyone. You will never forget it.
