ANIMALS, PEOPLE,

Reimagining a Just and Fair Food System

A resilient and just food system must support the well-being of animals, people, and the planet.

Right now, our food system is at a breaking point. It shapes our health, environment, and livelihoods, yet remains deeply unsustainable. The way we produce and consume food is driving climate change, public health crises, and injustice for both people and animals. But these challenges aren’t isolated—they’re interconnected, demanding intersectional solutions.

Samayu is a non-profit organisation working at the intersection of food, health, and justice to create lasting change. Through research, policy advocacy, and community-driven solutions, we are reimagining a food system that nourishes people and the planet—without exploiting animals.

Our Approach

  • Intersectional thinking

    Recognizing how food, health, environment, and justice are deeply interconnected.

  • Systems thinking

    Addressing the root causes, not just the symptoms, of food system challenges.

  • Context-driven action

    Driving solutions that must fit within India’s unique social, economic, and environmental realities. Our work is grounded in local contexts.

Our Annual Reports: Years of Impact & Progress
