Welcome to the Coalition for Sustainable Egg Supply.

The Coalition includes food companies, research institutions, non-governmental organizations and other stakeholders working to better understand the impact of various laying hen housing systems on a sustainable supply of eggs. Coalition members believe we need a balanced and holistic evaluation of egg production including environmental impact, food safety, worker safety, animal health and well-being, and food affordability in order to achieve a sustainable supply of eggs. Part of our effort will be a commercial-scale research project that evaluates the sustainability impact of three different types of egg laying systems:

• Cage-free aviary housing systems.
• Enriched housing including perches and nests.
• Caged housing environments currently used by a vast majority of the contemporary U.S. food supply system.
