As consumers, we make dozens of choices daily. Shelves are stacked with products in packaging designed to entice customers. When buying meat, labels and certifications promise everything from superior quality to ethical sourcing, but what do these labels really mean? How do we navigate this maze of claims to make informed choices about the meat we buy?

As Kiwis, we love our land. We also love our meat. Did you know that the type of meat we choose to eat not only impacts the land we love but is impacted by the land?
