TONIGHT: some of our drone footage on food and farming will be shown on @C4Dispatches as @morlandsanders looks at the wave of American food making its way into British shops as part of a trade deal that risks damaging and destroying British farming and food standards
In 2017, our investigation into the rise of mega-farms found the UK had almost 800 US-style farms at the time, breeding thousands of pigs, poultry and chicken for slaughter at any one time
@Andrew_Wasley and @madlendavies exposed the changing face of British poultry farming. Now, as part of a post-Brexit trade deal, UK farmers might be forced further down the mega farm road to compete with US imports https://www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2017-07-17/megafarms-uk-intensive-farming-meat
In response to the row over our earlier reporting the government said “we will not have, US-style farming in this country” but will it compromise on hormones in beef, chlorinated chicken, animal welfare and environmental standards to cut a deal?
