Supermarkets refuse to engage with farm assurance review, gene-editing and classical swine fever, & why the world needs more red meat
Description
In this week’s podcast, some of Britain’s biggest supermarkets are refusing to engage with a review of UK farm assurance schemes.
A progress report on improving schemes like Red Tractor has struggled to gather input from Britain's big retail chains.
Just three supermarkets have responded on an individual basis with the British Retail Consortium (BRC) refusing to participate.
Could a breakthrough by UK scientists mean the end of classical swine fever?
And we find out why the world needs more red meat.
