Plant-based bubble bursts
OPINION: Talking about plant-based food: “Chicken-free chicken” start-up Sunfed has had its valuation slashed to zero by major investor Blackbird Ventures, and its products are no longer available in supermarkets.
UK dairy farmers are seething after a BBC Panorama programme last week showed what it calls poor welfare practice on an unidentified Welsh dairy farm.
Much of the programme was filmed by an undercover representative of animal rights group Animal Equality.
But herein lies the problem; it was shot on the farm and the programme didn't show the 99% of other dairy farms in the UK producing quality milk with the highest animal welfare standards.
In New Zealand, the dairy sector has also fallen victim to activists secretly shooting footage on one farm and then using it to unfairly tarnish the image of the whole industry.
