About Red Tractor
Red Tractor is the UK’s largest food standards scheme, covering animal welfare, food safety, traceability and environmental protection. Working with experts in their fields, the programme ensures that families across Britain have access to safe, quality food that has been grown and reared in the UK to rigorous farming standards.
More than 60,000 checks are performed each year across the supply chain to safeguard how animals are tended to, how fresh produce is grown and how standards are being followed from field to basket.C
Animal welfare in practice - from the farmers mouth
Charlie Beaty is a third generation farmer from Warwickshire where she and her family farm cattle, sheep and crops. A standard day for Charlie starts with checking the cattle and sheep, arguably the most important job of the day. She checks for any animals that may be sick, injured or even stuck so that we can get them sorted out as soon as possible.
