Climate concerns are not new to the meat industry, but in recent months they have been the subject of renewed pressure. How is the industry working to address these issues?

• What are the latest climate concerns?

• Are they changing shopping habits?

• What is the industry doing to address these issues? 

• Who has made the most progress?

• Is grass-fed meat better from an environmental perspective? 

• What about agroforestry?

• What are the environmental upshots of beef vs pork and chicken? 

British bred vs imported   

• How much better for the climate is British grown meat over imported? 

• What portion of meat consumed in the UK is domestically produced?

• What kinds are imported?

• How have recent trade deals affected meat imports? 

Lab grown meat

• Have recent findings on the climate strengthened the argument for lab grown meat? 

• How close are we to lab grown meat at scale? What technological developments are necessary? And how much investment?

• What about regulatory hurdles?

• How would lab grown meat compare in price to conventionally raised meat?

• What lab-grown products are selling – and what traditional products are their competitors?

• And how does it fit into welfare concerns?

Innovation

• We will profile four new products or ranges. We need launch date, rsp, and a hi-res picture of each.
