Farm Gate: The European Chicken Commitment and KFC

Signatories to the European Chicken Commitment must move from standard intensive indoor production systems for rearing meat chickens, to more humane, extensive indoor systems by the 1st of January 2026.
The Commitment has attracted widespread attention from broiler producers, and several major brands have already signed up – including KFC. How will the Commitment improve the lives and deaths of chickens reared for meat?
What are the practical implications of delivering the required standards, within the established time-frame? In this programme ffinlo Costain talks to Jenny Packwood, Director of Responsibility & Reputation for KFC UK & Ireland, and to Annie Rayner and Kelly Watson, experts in broiler systems and behaviour, working at FAI Farms.
