TOP REVIEWS FROM THE MEAT WE EAT
The class is 5 years old and it seems dated and some of the stats they quoted were from 2000. It needs a refresh but over all the class is quite informative.
Excellent course, really enjoying it so far. I'm a farmer myself in Scotland and want to learn more about international meat farming and this was ideal.
I LOVE THIS COURSE, IT GAVE ME A DEEP KNOWLEDGE ABOUT HOW THE PRODUCTION OF MEAT IS DONE IN DEVELOPED COUNTRIES AND A WIDER VISION
