We need to produce as much food in the next 40 years as humanity has produced in the last 10,000. That's the challenge.

World Without Cows explores what it will take to feed a growing global population and asks what solutions can help close the gap.

Elon Musk points out that immigration policy can be shaped by political incentives

He notes that open borders, government benefits, and voting patterns have influenced how some politicians approach immigration.

Musk points to Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton as examples of politicians whose positions he says changed over time.

A pinch-me moment in Times Square.

World Without Cows can be found in the heart of New York City through Climate Week NYC. If you’re near Times Square, look up, grab a photo or video, tag @worldwithoutcow and share it with us.

After an incredible Los Angeles premiere, we’ve landed in New York for the final leg of our global premiere tour — but certainly not the final stop for the film. Stay tuned for what's next as the film comes to a theater near you. 

Tonight, we bring World Without Cows to Tribeca for another special screening, conversation and dinner with an incredible group of guests.

New York, here we go!

[World Without Cows @worldwithoutcow]

Hollywood, we’re ready for our close up.

Last night, we celebrated the Los Angeles premiere of World Without Cows at Avalon Hollywood with the people behind the film and guests experiencing the journey on the big screen.

A few highlights from a special night. Thank you, Los Angeles, for welcoming us.

Tomorrow, it’s New York City’s turn.

We did something big to kick off the second half of the World Without Cows global screening tour.

Really big. 🐄🗽

Hello, Times Square.

[World Without Cows @worldwithoutcow]

Two cities, two memorable evenings and a journey that is just beginning.

Our Dublin and London premieres marked the opening of the World Without Cows global theatrical screening tour, bringing audiences together for a special evening, five years in the making.

Take a look back at the people and moments that made both nights special. Thank you to our filmmakers, guests, moderators, panelists and everyone who helped bring these premieres to life.

[Mark Lyons @thelyonstale]

Help us bring World Without Cows to more screens and more communities. Watch the trailer, share it with your friends and family, and sign up for updates at https://t.co/ZV2NcYVlU6. We hope to see you at a screening soon!

Two premieres in two nights, and London gave us another evening I will not soon forget. 

At the Ham Yard Hotel last night, I had the opportunity to share why I am so committed to @worldwithoutcow and the belief behind our purpose of Working Together for a Planet of Plenty™. For us, progress means advancing three interconnected priorities: providing nutrition for all, replenishing our planet’s natural resources and revitalizing local economies. 

Progress in each depends on progress in the others. I believe business leaders have both the opportunity and the responsibility to help move all three forward. But realizing that potential takes commitment, curiosity and a willingness to bring people into the conversation who may see things differently.  To me, that’s also how we learn, the critical factor in how we will overcome the challenges we share. 

That belief is why, five years ago, I challenged Michelle and Brandon to explore one question: Are we better off in a world without cows? I also asked they do so openly without any limitations, with the simple guide to follow the science. And it is also why I am so committed to helping the stories they discovered reach people around the world.

Our moderator, farmer and @BBC Countryfile presenter @AdamHenson, offered me a “verbal hug” in response. (A first for me on a panel, I think.) He also expressed a wish that more company leaders would take a purpose-led approach. 

My response was that I am optimistic many already are. And I believe the companies that continue to thrive will be those that lead with purpose, making it part of how they make decisions, invest and work with others. 

Professor Mizeck Chagunda brought another important perspective, earning a round of applause for his call to introduce agriculture into education at a younger age. We need young people to see the possibilities in this extraordinary field and choose it as their first choice, rather than a last resort. 

I am grateful to Adam, Mizeck and Meurig Raymond (@meurigraym), former President of the National Farmers’ Union, for joining me in a conversation that brought us back to why this project matters. I’m confident this won’t be our last collaboration together to progress our shared ambitions and passions. 

Thank you to everyone who joined us, and to the remarkable team whose work made our London premiere possible. 

We have spent five years bringing these stories to the screen. Now we have an opportunity — and a responsibility — to carry the conversation forward. 

Next stop, Los Angeles. We are taking our cows to Hollywood!

Last night, World Without Cows kicked off its global theatrical screening tour at the Pearse Lyons Distillery in Dublin, Ireland. After a five-year journey across 22 countries, the Dublin premiere brought audiences together to rethink what we know about cows and the future of our planet.

Thank you, Dublin, for an incredible premiere and a wonderful night.

Tonight, World Without Cows comes to the Pearse Lyons Distillery in the heart of Dublin’s Liberties. This place was my father’s inspiration and my mother’s labor of love. It’s so special to have another chapter of this story told here first.

Those who visit the Pearse Lyons Distillery are greeted by a wonderful video of my father doing what he loved most: telling a story. This film embodies that same spirit of curiosity and courageous thinking.

I cannot wait to welcome our guests and finally share this remarkable film with them.

This is only the beginning. Dublin is the first stop as @worldwithoutcow begins its journey into the world.

[Mark Lyons @thelyonstale]

Five years ago, I challenged Michelle Michael and Brandon Whitworth to travel the world to explore one simple question: Are we better off in a world without cows?

Their journey became @WorldWithoutCows, a feature-length documentary exploring the remarkable impact cows have on our culture, our health and our planet.

Now it’s your turn to play a role. Follow @WorldWithoutCows, watch the trailer and share it with your friends and family.

I couldn’t be more excited for what’s ahead.

[World Without Cows @worldwithoutcow]

Cows, climate and the future of our planet: it’s not black and white.

[World Without Cows @worldwithoutcow]

What if everything you thought you knew about cows was only part of the story?

Two journalists spent five years searching the world for the bigger picture. Now, you’re invited to join the next leg of their journey.

The official trailer for #WorldWithoutCows arrives tomorrow.

Altiero Spinelli – The Man Who Designed the EU in Prison.

Not a metaphor. Literally. The blueprint for the European Union — its founding logic, its institutional architecture, its explicit goal of dissolving national sovereignty permanently — was written in 1941, on a tiny island off the coast of Naples, where Mussolini had imprisoned him.
The Ventotene Manifesto. Still cited. Still operative. Still running.

1. Spinelli had been a communist since seventeen – and was eventually expelled from the Communist Party for left-wing deviation. Too radical for the communists. Which tells you something about the man. In his prison years he reached the conclusion that the nation-state was the root cause of war, fascism, and every political catastrophe of the century. It had to go. Not reformed. Not constrained. Abolished – permanently, irreversibly, through the construction of a supranational federal authority with supreme power over member states.

2. The Ventotene Manifesto was written in 1941 on paper smuggled into the prison in cigarette packets. Its argument was simple and total: nation-states must be replaced by a federal European government. The economic integration would come first – because economic interdependence would make political separation prohibitively costly. Then the institutions. Then the law. Then the currency. Each step irreversible by design. The nation-state dissolved not by force but by process – incrementally, bureaucratically, until the point of no return had been passed without anyone noticing when.

3. This is the architecture of the European Union. Not a conspiracy theory – the founding document. Spinelli served as a member of the European Parliament and drafted the 1984 Spinelli Report – the direct precursor to the Maastricht Treaty. Today the European Parliament sits in the Spinelli Building in Brussels. The Spinelli Group inside it advances his program explicitly, in his name, without apology. The man who wrote the blueprint in a prison cell in 1941 is the acknowledged intellectual father of the institution that governs 450 million people. This is not hidden. It is simply not taught.

4. The mechanism was specifically intended to be irreversible. Each treaty expands competence and makes contraction impossible. The Commission is unelected and insulated from democratic pressure to reverse course. Spinelli understood, from his Marxist formation, that the correct way to make a revolutionary change permanent is to make the cost of reversing it higher than the cost of accepting it. Brexit took fifty years of membership to become possible – and was still nearly impossible to execute.

5. Poland is the most precise illustration. A nation that disappeared from the map for a century and fought back through language, family, and refusal to be absorbed – now a member of an institution designed to make national sovereignty obsolete. The Brussels directive that overrides the Polish parliament is Spinelli’s program, running as designed. The Poland that survived partition by Prussia, Russia, and Austria is now navigating a project designed to produce the same outcome through consent rather than conquest. Spinelli would have considered this progress.

6. He died in 1986, before Maastricht, before the euro, before the completed project. Like Gramsci, he did not need to see it. The manifesto written on cigarette-packet paper on a prison island became the founding document of the most powerful supranational institution in history – one that 450 million people live inside without knowing who designed it, when, where, or why.

7. Now you know. The question worth asking is not whether the EU is good or bad. It is whether you would have consented to Spinelli’s program if asked directly – whether you wanted the nation-state abolished permanently by incremental bureaucratic process, designed from the start to be irreversible. Nobody was asked. That too was part of the design.
