15 Learnings from Community Building in Farmed Animal Welfare — Hive What worked and what didn’t.

How do you get people in a community to engage with each other? It's not enough to give people a place to talk. You need to *prompt* engagement. Hive shares 15 lessons from building their farmed animal welfare community 👉 www.joinhive.org/updates/our-...
