ALPN is undertaking a scoping study to examine the economic incentives shaping India’s dairy industry and their role in advancing climate-resilient farming practices. The study will map existing subsidies, while also analysing the potential impacts of climate change on the sector through a combination of literature review and expert stakeholder consultations. This is the first study of its kind to explore the relationship between economic incentives in dairy farming and their broader implications for climate resilience. Photo: anipixels.com
ALPN has completed a first-of-its-kind district animal welfare audit in Sri Muktsar Sahib in Punjab and submitted the District Animal Welfare Audit Report and Action Plan to the district administration of Sri Muktsar Sahib. The report highlights the state of animal welfare across various sectors like dairies, poultries, gaushalas, piggeries, aquaculture farms, pet shops, and equine farms and provides actionable immediate, short, medium, and long-term recommendations to improve animal welfare.

The increasing intensification of poultry production in India, coupled with poor animal welfare standards, poses serious risks to worker health, safety, and rights. Drawing on field-based evidence, legal and policy analysis, the project will develop recommendations aimed at improving labour conditions in poultry farms while simultaneously advancing animal welfare standards.

ALPN is studying the legal and policy landscape in freshwater aquaculture and the impact on human health. The study, which involved field work in fishing districts in Andhra Pradesh, found that while coastal aquaculture in India is heavily regulated, the framework for freshwater fish farming is fragmented and full of gaps. There are issues of lack of standardised disease management and reporting, widespread and prophylactic use of chemicals and antibiotics and compromised fish health in freshwater systems. The detailed report, expected in November 2025, will elaborate on these concerns as well as policy recommendations that centre fish and human health.
ALPN conducted an analysis of anti-cruelty animal laws in India for the Asia-Pacific Animal Law Overview (APALO) database developed by World Animal Justice (WAJ). For this project, ALPN prepared a comprehensive outline of the various forms of cruelty that have been recognised in India and the punishments in place for them. ALPN also prepared a list of landmark animal law cases from India. The database is now available in the form of an app (https://waj-database.glide.page/).
In collaboration with Humane World for Animals-India, Institute for Stem Cell Science and Regenerative Medicine (InStem), and Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, ALPN is conducting a systematic landscape analysis of non-animal methods (NAMs) for India's pharmaceutical sector. This project aims to create an evidence-based roadmap for the adoption and acceleration of non-animal methods in the drug development sector in India.
