Foyle Food Group, a family-owned business with over 45 years in the beef industry, is one of the largest processors in the UK and Ireland. They export premium beef globally, emphasising quality, traceability, and animal welfare through traditional farming and innovative technology.
Foyle Food Group prioritises farm sustainability through comprehensive supplier engagement programmes designed to strengthen relationships within their supply base. In 2023, the company facilitated seven events, including farm walks and nutrition meetings, focusing on essential topics such as grassland management, climate change mitigation, and enhancing farm profitability, surpassing their target milestone by 40%. These engagements, supported by dedicated Farm Liaison Officers, allow for direct knowledge exchange, enabling farmers to implement best practices effectively. The exclusive Foyle producer’s website and regular newsletters ensure that updates on sustainability certifications are communicated efficiently, further promoting continuous improvement at the farm level.
As Foyle Food Group looks toward the future, they are planning their 2025-2030 Sustainability Strategy, which will focus on animal welfare, greenhouse gas emissions, and the rural economy. The goal is to create a resilient beef system that benefits both producers and the environment.
