Following the money behind industrial animal agriculture.

Divya Narain's research asks who funds industrial animal agriculture, what it costs the climate, and how that capital can be redirected. In 2024 she won a Burning Questions Fellowship from the Tiny Beam Fund to study the greenhouse gas lock-in created by development bank financing of industrial livestock in low-income countries. She has provided research support to the Stop Financing Factory Farming coalition.

She holds a PhD from the University of Queensland and a Master’s from the University of Oxford, where she completed a postdoctoral fellowship in 2024. Her research has been published in Nature Sustainability, Science, One Earth and Conservation Biology, covered by The Independent, Forbes, The Banker and The Conversation, and she was a Lead Author of the IPBES Business and Biodiversity Assessment.
