Nebraska Cattlemen Applauds Rep. Flood’s Resolution Condemning the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UNs' Anti-Beef Strategy

LINCOLN, NE (December 11, 2023) - Today, in response to U.S. Representative Mike Flood’s (NE-01) introduction of H.Res.920, which disapproves of recommendations by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations to reduce meat consumption in the United States, Nebraska Cattlemen (NC) released the following statement:

“The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations' attempt to persuade American consumers to eat overly processed fake meat products instead of the high quality and nutrient-rich animal protein produced by our hardworking farmers and ranchers is misguided and unrealistic,” said NC President Jerry Kuenning. He continued, “Nebraska’s beef cattle producers strongly value sustainability and there is no group who cares more than agriculturalists about leaving the land better than they found it for generations to come. We commend Rep. Flood for his leadership and for defending the Beef state on an international stage.”
