In this episode of the Force of Nature Podcast, Conan sits down with Helen Beattie, veterinarian, advocate and founder of Veterinarians for Animal Welfare Aotearoa (VAWA).

With a rich background spanning mixed animal practice, animal welfare inspection, and national-level policy work, Helen brings a bold and compassionate lens to one of agriculture’s most complex topics: animal welfare. 

Helen doesn’t hold back as she unpacks the reality behind farming systems, the importance of systems thinking, and why "a good life for all" means animals, people, and the environment must thrive together.
