Farmers are facing some of the most challenging conditions they’ve ever experienced. Lockdown measures have led to difficult consequences for many farmers, while concern over food supplies remain.
In this newsletter, we take a look at how farmers are continuing to produce food for us to eat and drink during the Covid-19 crisis, we explore just how critical animal products – including milk, meat, eggs and fish – are for our global community.

With 1.3 billion people reliant on livestock for employment and food security, and a hunger crisis potentially looming… livestock can play a vital role in supporting the global Covid-19 response.
It’s why we joined 65+ farm, veterinary and research groups and individual academics from around the globe in signing the new Open Letter on the Value of Animal Agriculture. It dispels myths about agriculture and COVID while outlining how we can help livestock producers keep us fed during this pandemic.
