A recent study published by AVEC EU Poultry analyses the additional costs and likely implications of adopting the Better Chicken Commitment (https://lnkd.in/eEiNQXcq "BCC"). The study finds that fully transitioning to BCC standards would result in: 🐔 An additional production cost of 37.5% per kilogram of meat 🐔 35.4% increase in water consumption, equating to an additional 12.44 million cubic meters annually 🐔 35.5% increase in feed consumption, amounting to an additional 7.3 million tonnes 🐔 24.4% rise in greenhouse gas emissions per kilogram of meat produced 🐔 A reduction of 44% in the total meat produced compared to standard production methods at present in existing EU growing space (>30kg/m²) 🐔 The necessity to construct 9,692 new poultry houses, with an estimated cost of €8.24 billion, to maintain current production levels This ‘Race for Space’ is being severely hampered by the ability to obtain planning consent for poultry developments especially on greenfield sites. Ultimately, we think this will mean that good quality poultry farms will be highly sought after. It certainly does need an overhaul of the current system to make meaningful changes to the industry. #AnimalWelfare #PoultryIndustry #EuropeanChickenCommitment

Labour's successful election campaign focused on 'kickstarting growth' and King Charles' speech has now provided more detail on how they intend to do this. Key points of particular interest to us and our clients are... 📏 Planning - An overhaul of the current compulsory purchase system is proposed as well as streamlining the planning process for critical infrastructure. Local planning authorities are to see their decision-making processes modernised, thereby increasing capacity. 🏘 Housing - Limits are to be set for ground rents, no-fault evictions are to be banned and stricter rules on building safety are to be introduced for social tenants. 🚆 Transport - A High Speed Rail Bill will support the creation of new rail infrastructure in northern England. This confirms Labour will not resurrect the northern stretch of HS2 but will focus on linking east to west. 🔋 Utilities - Billions is to be invested in green industry and infrastructure over the next five years and a state-owned energy investment and generation company is to be created (GB Energy). Water Regulators will also have the power to ban bonuses when environmental standards are not met.
