Sustainable Farming

Livestock farming for meat production has been an established industry in Wales for many years. Over the years farming techniques have been altered and modernised. Animal health and welfare, and sustainability remain high priorities for farmers.

Animals have been bred to produce leaner meat which has a positive impact on our diet and health.

Issues such as the impact of red meat production on the environment is currently a hot topic for discussion.
In Wales beef and lamb are raised overwhelmingly through non-intensive farming which relies on abundant grass and rainfall rather than energy-intensive imported feed. This makes Wales one of the most sustainable places on Earth to produce red meat.
