The group has raised concerns about antimicrobial use in Brazilian livestock production. It has contacted Defra and requested a meeting with food safety officials in Northern Ireland about Brazilian chicken and beef sold there.

We put out the call and the rural community answered in Westminster today, as we launched the Campaign for the Countryside with a series of brilliant speakers from across the political spectrum.
Thank you to both those speakers and our room full of guests, who joined us to make sure the countryside is heard and to ask the Prime Minister to commit to a rural reset.
Do you live in, work in or care about the countryside? We want you to get behind this campaign and make sure the voice of rural Britain is heard in Westminster. Learn more and add your voice here: https://t.co/kVtfGQ1whK
