Challenges and Advocacy
in the Meat Packing Industry
Two Critical Perspectives from The Beef Initiative
The meat processing industry is currently navigating a turbulent landscape, where small processors and growers find themselves disproportionately impacted by systemic challenges. At the heart of these challenges lies the USDA Tournament System, alongside a complex web of regulatory policies that seemingly advantage large corporations over their smaller counterparts. This part aims to explore the intricacies of these issues through the lens of advocates like Breeauna Sagdal and Justin Trammell, who are at the forefront of championing a more equitable future for the industry.
