Meat Safety Demystified Series Course Now Enrolling
A learning journey from farm to table
Following the Homemakers United Foundation learning train, we begin with getting to know the place of origin to the processing process, to the purchasing channels, to table cooking. Beyond becoming smart consumers, we also want to become guardians of table food safety. The Homemakers United Foundation has for many years paid attention to environmental protection and upheld food safety, and hopes that this meat learning journey can identify the crux of the problems, supervise poor and unlawful operators, uncover the harms at the production or distribution end, and guard consumer rights. It also advocates local production and local sales to increase the food self-sufficiency rate, improve the lives and welfare of poultry and livestock, and boost consumer knowledge that in turn drives industry progress.
