Authors:
This first of its kind study compares EU and U.S. regulations aimed at the meat industry, including labor, the environment, animal welfare and public health. It is done with the hope that it helps policymakers and citizens concretize the impacts of TTIP’s (de) regulatory agenda on an industry that requires drastic reform—an industry that is dramatically disconnected from citizen and consumer concerns about how meat is produced, who produces it and the long term negative impacts of this extractive model.
