Our work now reaches millions of readers and listeners, from policymakers in Washington to Iowa residents on the front lines of factory farm pollution.
Here's how Sentient is changing the media narrative:

We’re joining 5 other Climate News Task Force newsrooms to offer a shared place to sign up for all our newsletters. It’s a new way to make climate coverage easier to find — and to support the reporting that holds powerful industries accountable.

This year, we saw what happens when you shine a light into places that have been ignored for far too long, from Iowans fighting for clean water to federal policy makers pushing for change.
Lets take a closer look at the change you made possible over the last 12 months:
Until we treat animal agriculture with the same scrutiny we do oil, transportation and manufacturing, our climate coverage will remain half-told. My latest for @thestar.com, featuring analysis by @sentientmedia.org: www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...
During the height of the pandemic, Tyson used Palantir to predict Covid-19 infections among meatpacking workers down to a nearly exactly figure. But rather than using this data to increase worker protections, Tyson used it plan for labor shortages + plant closures
My latest for @sentientmedia.org
Farmers are feeding surplus Halloween candy to cows. Corporations argue that it’s a sustainable way to curb food waste, but is it really about profits?
@jesslsr.bsky.social uncovers the truth behind the practice.
Cutting food waste is a huge potential climate win. Why are we ignoring it?
NEW from Floodlight and @sentientmedia.org:
A new video from Sentient explains how the meat giant JBS used shell companies to avoid paying $442 million in taxes.

As an AZ native, I've known this for years. And still. The madness never ceases to shock
"In Arizona, 76 percent of water use goes toward agriculture. Mature alfalfa (hay) is largely used to feed cattle, and in Arizona, alfalfa is a commonly planted thirsty crop."

When a semi-truck hauling 1,900 piglets crashed, a livestock farmer approached the Ohio State Highway Patrol to ask a favor: direct the media to stop filming before the emergency crew unloads the dead piglets from the trailer.
In La Paz County Arizona, like 80% of the state, there are few restrictions on groundwater use.
We went to investigate why the desert is running dry, and who stands to profit.
Meet the residents who fear that without change, the area will become unlivable.

Meat is a leading emissions source – but few outlets report on it, analysis finds
Swapping conventional meat for alternatives could reduce rising levels of water pollution from meat and dairy farming, resulting in cleaner water in agricultural communities.
The beef industry has known since 1989 that their product is one of the most resource intensive and polluting foods on the planet. But rather than address its climate impact, the National Cattlemen Beef Association chose to manufacture doubt.
We’re looking for a Louisiana-based investigative reporter to join Floodlight. The role will focus on the power and influence of the energy industry and its impact on people. Apply by Sept. 22:
Oh hahhahahha I took that way literally
Wut!! You have a fence! People coming into your garden???
Seaboard Triumph Foods says they're committed to "doing pork the right way." But according to photos and video reviewed by Sentient, that includes emitting hazardous gases into the atmosphere.
Sentient’s @ninaelkadi.com recently joined WVON 1690AM - The Talk of Chicago to discuss her investigation.
Can you actually offset your meat consumption with a donation? And more importantly, should you? @kennytorrella.bsky.social reports for @vox.com:
Few places are more impacted by Trump’s environmental policies than the Gulf Coast, where his administration is fast-tracking massive gas export terminals. Floodlight went to southwest Louisiana to see what that means for the people living beside them.
Steven Barrows describes his former employer’s parking lot as a "dump site for rotten meats.” Photos reviewed by Sentient show dead pigs piled up outside the Iowa pork plant.
@ninaelkadi.com joined WVON 1690 AM to discuss the ongoing violations of Seaboard Triumph Foods.
In this unincorporated Florida community, farmworkers often struggle to put fresh fruit and vegetables on their own tables, @sentientmedia.org reports.
Since ICE raids have increased, a group of Quakers have started attending distribution, making sure their phones are always charged and accessible.

200 employees at a JBS plant in Iowa were informed that their visas had been revoked. Now, their employment is over, and they may have to leave the U.S. immediately.
Watch the whole story with our investigative reporter @ninaelkadi.com.
A hog slaughtering facility in Sioux City, Iowa promised to bring jobs to town, but blood and pollution came with Seaboard Triumph Foods as well. In footage provided to Sentient, animal waste can be seen flowing into a drain in the ground.
After Steven Barrows left his job at a hog slaughtering facility in Sioux City, Iowa, he sent a tip to the Environmental Protection Agency. In the tip, Barrows described the parking lot of Seaboard Triumph Foods LLC as a “dump site for rotten meats.”
Just received this stunning print edition of some of @sentientmedia.org’s top stories of 2024. What a perfect gift for writers and donors!
Consider becoming a donor, here: donorbox.org/sentientdona...
Things that are all true about food and climate at the same time:
1. Cutting back on beef a little is better than nothing
2. We've not made much progress, even on # 1 in the US (in recent years)
3. The longer we delay on 1, the steeper the climate challenge but...
4. See number 1
This story is blowing up on our site:
200 JBS workers in Iowa are losing U.S. work authorization.
@sentientmedia.org was told that unless they qualify for another exemption, they’re being instructed to leave the U.S. immediately.
