Why aren’t British schools supporting British farmers?
Mo Metcalf-Fisher@mometfisher

🚨Our investigation revealed by the BBC, finds Welsh councils are serving up to 99% imported chicken, from as far away as Thailand and China, to school children in Wales. In some cases, imported chicken accounts for virtually all supply. Worryingly, not a single council was able to say how much Welsh chicken it procured for school meals. Particular frustration from Welsh farmers like @1GarethWynJones who argue the domestic industry have to jump through hoops to meet strict regulations, all while listening to the Welsh government wax lyrical about sustainability: “our standards are world-class, but our government’s loyalty is bargain-bin”. Punchy. Sustainability should start at home. Support local farmers and growers, folks. Read more ➡️countryside-alliance.org/news-content-t…

@sharrond62 You know the answer to that so you are being delibrrately misleading. The majority of our suppliers were from the EU prior to Brexit, the British suppliers never have been compeditive. Schools have limited budgets, they cannot afford to buy British.
