On the Farm - The quest for good meatBy: Beth Trowbridge
Well, it’s that time of year again when we’re all on the hunt for that something special for the Christmas table. Also when the old/new dilemma rears its head more strongly about how much meat we should be consuming at this festive time of year.
Perhaps the more important questions we should be pondering are more nuanced. Where exactly do we source our meat? Is it ethically produced, without cruelty? Is it sustainably reared in a farming regime that has a positive carbon footprint and looks after the wider environment? Is it locally sourced (good for reducing emissions and for the local economy)? With so many things to weigh up we could be forgiven for just going for fish – but wait, there are moral dilemmas there, too!
