NOTE

Comparing Welfare Impact of Different Interventions

The goal of the project is to compare the impact of interventions like supporting the Against Malaria Foundation versus investing in a corporate campaign for chickens. By using a welfare range, it becomes possible to convert the impact of these interventions into a common unit of measurement, enabling the comparison of their effects on different subjects such as chickens, salmon, bees, or humans. This approach allows for a systematic assessment and comparison of the welfare benefits across various intervention options.
