To ask if you will buy British meat rather than OZ/NZ with lower welfare standards?

Partly inspired by the farmer thread…

The Brexit trade deal with Australia has opened up tariff free trade for meat which can be produced to a lower animal welfare standard than employed by the UK system

Our UK farmers could be undercut by imports where poorer practices are employed

Will you support homegrown meat, UK farming and the standards they work to?

Yes to buying British meat.
From a selfish point of view I like the farmland and green spaces! From an ethical point of view I want to keep jobs in GB and also buying British means less environmental damage if not have to transport from another continent.

I always check meat is British before I buy it and will be even more vigilant now!

In New Zealand l buy NZ products in England l buy UK products.

In relation to NZ standards for Beef, Dairy, and Venison products there are extremely high standards of production.
