In light of the recent changes in abattoir access for farmers across Australia, Sustainable Table, in collaboration with the Australian Food Sovereignty Alliance (AFSA), is hosting an online roundtable discussion with:

Lauren Mathers - Murray Plains Meat Collective
Patrick O’Neill - Small Farmers WA

This is an opportunity for industry to come together and discuss alternative options and share knowledge and resources.

The impact of abattoir closures on farmers, processors, and rural communities
The establishment of farmer-led collective abattoir models to build micro and mobile abattoirs
