Red meat producers star in videos to promote industry

Red meat producers are front and centre in a series of new on-farm videos, designed to showcase the industry’s strong environmental, social and animal welfare credentials to consumers.Produced by Meat & Livestock Australia for its Australian Good Meat program, the 11 videos feature beef and lamb producers sharing their own stories about how they care for their animals and natural resources.MLA chief marketing and communications officer Lisa Sharp said the producer-led videos had been released to engage consumers around how red meat is produced in sustainable, high welfare systems.“Australian livestock producers care about their animals and the environment in which they're raised,” Ms Sharp said.“The reality is their livelihoods depend on a thriving environment, healthy ecosystems and good animal health and welfare.“This new suite of videos transport viewers on to the farms of red meat producers as they explain their approaches to consistently producing the clean, green and safe red meat for which Australia is renowned.”Ms Sharp said the videos reinforce the Good Meat online platform’s objective of providing consumers with an open and trusted source of information about the production of beef, sheep and goat meat in Australia.
