We all know that there are problems in our meat supply. Genetics, antibiotic use, animal welfare, the list goes on and on. Some of the main producers and people in the entrenched cattle production industry are coming together trying to develop standards for sustainable beef production and identify the problems facing the industry today. On this weeks episode of What Doesn’t Kill You, Katy Keiffer explores this topic with Jonathan Gelbard, Conservation Scientist & Sustainable Agriculture Specialist, for National Resources Defense Council. This program was brought to you by Consider Bardwell.
