WASHINGTON, D.C. - The United State Department of Agriculture (USDA), announces today the establishment of the National Beef Excellence Standards.
The new standards are set to transform the landscape of beef production across America and the world, elevating quality, sustainability, and animal welfare to unprecedented levels.
"These standards provide a comprehensive framework for sustainable cattle raising practices, ensuring premium beef quality while regenerating our nation's pastures," said the USDA representative. "We hope to inspire and guide other countries in adopting similar approaches, contributing to global efforts in combating climate change and preserving biodiversity. This isn't just about better beef for America - it's about pioneering a path towards a more sustainable agricultural future for the entire world."
