How to Buy wild or pasture fed meat only

Animals are an important part of the ecosystem - they help maintain a mosaic of habitats, they create conditions for certain species to thrive, and they help stop a particular species dominating. We eat deer in the form of venison and rabbits, which need to be culled annually so they do not overgraze an area, and we use sheep to graze in conservation practices, which also need to be culled. Pasture fed meat also has a greatly reduced impact on the environment as other land is not used to create feed for animals, and if done correctly, through systems such as mob-grazing, animals feeding pasture can have a big positive impact on the environment. Although meat harvested in this way uses a greater amount of land, it is proven to have a significantly smaller impact. To find this food look online for those selling meat boxes of wild or pasture fed meat - there are suppliers but it is more expensive, so do this alongside reducing meat consumption.
