Are farmers themselves guilty of spreading anti-farming sentiment? 🥩 🐮 Why are we defending beef farming in the UK by vilifying other farmers around the world in the process. This is a good example of why my @NuffieldFarming research is important. More explained below 👇📹

It has been great to spend 2 days at the WTO adding the farmers voice to trade meetings. The voice of the farmer speaks to lived experience of trade policy negotiated here over time. Great to meet members of @CairnsGroupWTO and thanks to @MFATNZ and @CKellyNZ

A sustainability focus, export success and returning a portion of profit back into Bluff and Stewart Island/Rakiura community projects where their 150 staff reside are some of the reasons why Sanford Ltd’s Big Glory Bay Salmon was selected as Food & Beverage Producer Award winner. #PINZ2023
