Economic Value
The meat, poultry and fish industry in the UK is a complex network of farmers, processors, distributors, and retailers. It includes everything from small-scale farms to large industrial operations. Each stage of the process plays an important role in getting food from farm to table.
At its core, this industry is all about feeding people. Meat, poultry, and fish are staples of many diets around the world. In fact, they provide essential nutrients like protein that our bodies need to function properly. However, large-scale food production presents significant challenges.
