Episode Synopsis
Thanks for listening to Grilled, we talk to the UK's best chefs every week so make sure you follow us so you don’t miss out on the latest episode.Please give us a follow and rate us so more people can find us!We discussed the topic with Nick Allen, CEO of the British Meat Processing Association; Daniel Metheringham, head of agriculture at McCain Foods; private chef. Peter Pickering; and chef owner of The Shore restaurant in Penzance, Bruce Rennie.As we set out to renegotiate all trade after leaving the European Union, Britain will, for the first time since the 1970s, be 'free' to choose its own farming practices. But the proposed bill also sets out the possibility of foreign trade deals, which could force the UK to accept the import of produce which doesn't meet the current British farming standards.The bill attempts to reform inefficient farming practices and change how subsidies are handed out, as well as laying out a seven year revision of sustainable practices.But for Nick, whose members at BMPA handle 90% of the pork, 80% of the beef, and 65% of the lamb in the country, the bill fell short of expectations, in that it "barely mentions" food production.If you enjoyed this we will be uploading a new episode each week - if you are not already become a member of The Staff Canteen and keep up to date: www.thestaffcanteen.com/index/registerPlease support us if you like what we do: https://bit.ly/TSCContributeSupport the show
