Local abattoirs in Scotland and sustainable local meat production

The Big Issue Discussion: how can we have sustainable local meat production without a network of local abattoirs.

In this discussion chaired by Claire Taylor of the Scottish Farmer, you will hear from the Princes Countryside Fund who recently authored a report on the topic, from Rare Breeds Survival Trust for whom this is a key issue, a representative from Food Standards Scotland, a local Butcher and an abattoir owner. The debate was lively and informative!
