We have a team of specialist staff with extensive farm animal welfare knowledge, with backgrounds in scientific research, veterinary medicine, supply chain management, marketing communications and sustainability.

We do not charge for our consultancy and do not operate a farm assurance scheme. As such we are in a unique position to give you objective advice.

We have a number of resources to assist you, including best practice case studies and information sheets to help you make the case for higher welfare, sustainable food systems.

Our Rethinking Food section offers a wealth of information sheets on key topics such as Food Security, Climate Change, Biodiversity loss and Health.

We also offer training packages to help teams working in procurement, sustainability and strategy.

Meet Consumer Demand: Promote Higher Welfare and Sustainable Food

Loué Tract A5 Poulitique Page 1

Consumers are increasingly interested in the provenance of their food - particularly for meat, fish, eggs and dairy products - and the impact commercial food production is having on animal welfare and the environment.

By promoting your higher welfare and plant-based alternatives through proper labelling, and by communicating your ambitions for more sustainable and regenerative food production, you can enhance your brand value and make it easier for consumers to make more informed food choices.

We will celebrate and showcase companies demonstrating leadership in this space, highlighting the latest industry innovations to build consumer buy-in and loyalty and to provide inspiration and guidance for your own marketing strategies.
