In this fascinating episode I speak with Bini Pitwell, a proud vegan, a passionate grassroots activist, an intelligent, determined and highly principled human, about The Coalition Against Factory Farming https://www.caff.org.uk/.
CAFF is a coalition of everyday local people, seasoned campaigners, lawyers, environmental scientists, to name but a few, along with a variety of movements, including Animal Rising https://www.animalrising.org/ and Scrap Factory Framing https://scrapfactoryfarming.org/.
It was formed in early 2025 after a winning campaign to stop the largest factory farm in Europe being built by food giant Cranswick, in Methwold, Norfolk.
We talk about how working with a variety of people and organisations, with a variety of backgrounds and a variety of skills has been hugely effective due to everyone's common goal of ending factory farming!!
Bini shares her experiences with being a vegan activist and how that has changed over the years, as well as the wisdom gained through the painful journey of burn out, which has resulted in her first book You Amazing Vegan https://www.amazon.co.uk/You-Amazing-Vegan-Bini-Pitwell/dp/106830183X.
The book is an invitation to be the best you already are and is a guide to support you to thrive in life, through practical steps to feel empowered, confident and optimise your wellness.
Intrigued…? I am sure you are, listen on and you will not be disappointed!
