Factory farming produces over 70 billion land animals every year—yet most students are never taught to question the system behind it. In this eye-opening episode of the Better Life for Animals Podcast, we sit down with Zoe Weil, co-founder and president of the Institute for Humane Education (IHE), to explore how education can be a powerful force for compassion, justice, and change.

Zoe introduces us to solutionary education—an innovative, systems-based approach that teaches students to identify and solve real-world problems affecting people, animals, and the environment. From factory farming to climate change, this model empowers the next generation to become changemakers, critical thinkers, and conscious consumers.

In this episode, you'll discover:

What solutionary education is and why it matters
How schools can integrate humane, ethical, and environmental learning into every subject
Why hope is a teachable skill, not just a feeling
How animal sanctuaries play a crucial role in shifting perspectives
The "True Price" lesson that reveals the hidden cost of everyday choices
How cultivating solutionary thinking can help dismantle factory farming for good

Whether you're an educator, activist, parent, or simply someone who wants to build a more ethical world, this episode offers a roadmap for creating real impact through education.
