AB  - Based on a sample of 46 Portuguese schoolbooks, this study aims to understand how
factory-farmed animals are presented in such books across the themes of food and
health, the environment and sustainability, and animal welfare. It examines whether
schoolbooks address the importance of reducing the consumption of animal-based
products for a healthy diet, whether plant-based diets are recognized as healthy,
whether animal welfare and agency are considered, and whether the livestock sec-
tor is indicated as a major factor in environmental degradation. The findings show
that schoolbooks present animals as essential for economic activities and human
nutrition. Recommendations on reducing the consumption of animal-based products
in consideration of the environment, sustainability and human health are very rare.
Animal production is presented as benign, and the agency and welfare of factory-
farmed animals are simply not addressed
