CHOICE calls for more transparent beef labelling. February 12, 2013 Kate Carey Australian consumer group CHOICE has called for clearer labelling on beef products sold in supermarkets and at restaurants, following new research that 91 per cent of consumers “do not have enough information” about the “ethical production of food products” in Australia.
CHOICE has called for consumers to be better informed about the terms “grass-fed”, “grain-fed,” biodynamic beef,” “free-range beef” and “hormone-free beef” when choosing a steak. CHOICE Food Policy Advisor Angela McDougall said that consumers pay “premium” for steak but may not understand the different production methods. “When people order a grain-fed steak, they may not realise that this means cattle are in a feedlot for 60 or 70 days on a protein-rich diet with the primary objective of fast weight gain,” Ms McDougall said. According to estimates from the Meat and Livestock Association and referenced by CHOICE, Australian consumers spent around $6.7 billion on beef between 2010 – 2011.

Genetically modified food technology is mystery to some, a worry for others. 6 technologies for rethinking water in food production. One of the many topics that I've been covering far more closely in the past 18 months is water conservation initiatives by some of the biggest food and beverage companies around.
Although this has had far less attention than energy efficiency, it's a really big deal - no water means no product, which means less food. It is in the interest of companies like PepsiCo or Unilever to really focus on how to produce food with far less water. The carbon map: making sense of climate change responsibility and vulnerability.
