<p>Preferences for animal products from different production systems are driven by
consumer demand. Our UK farming industry produces animal products under a range of
different production systems, benefitting consumers who have access to a diverse choice
of products from a range of different systems, including free range. The UK has some
of the highest animal health and welfare standards in the world. Regardless of production
method, all operational livestock farms must comply with comprehensive animal health,
welfare and environmental legislation. Stockmanship and the correct application of
husbandry standards whatever the system of production, is key to ensuring good welfare
for all farmed animals. Our new system of agricultural support will support high welfare
methods of production.</p><p> </p>
