Meet the Women of Meat
International Women’s Day is a day to commemorate women around the world for their social, economic, and cultural achievements. The Foodies Group wanted to show our support for such an important day by highlighting a group of women working in a field that is near and dear to our hearts, beef production.
These women play an essential role in meat/beef production, from farming to processing and everything in between. This International Women’s Day, we raise a toast and celebrate these talented and passionate women by sharing a few of their stories and advice.
