New call to action on the role of red meat in society
“Livestock systems must progress on the basis of the highest scientific standards. They are too precious to society to become the victim of simplification, reductionism or zealotry. These systems must continue to be embedded in and have broad approval of society.”

We also looked at the endlessly interesting Food Systems Dashboard to view the countries where consumption of ultra-processed foods are the highest. It makes worrying reading, especially when you look at the rising 5-year trend in consumption of these products, and also which countries are adopting them at the fastest rate.
