In this week’s episode of The Weekly Grill podcast series, host Kerry Lonergan turns up the heat on Meat & Livestock Australia chief executive, Jason Strong.

 

The head of the industry’s service delivery company covers wide topics including the 2030 carbon neutral target, the industry’s response to plant based proteins – especially those masquerading as ‘meat’, and the growing emphasis on extension and producer uptake of R&D outcomes.

See today’s separate report on Beef Central summarising Jason Strong’s comments.
