Does quality drive success? - with Matt Chatfield and Phillip Warren

In this episode of Farming Focus, host Peter Green explores how smaller farms in the South West can take control of their future by focusing on quality over quantity. Market conditions for beef and other produce can fluctuate, but producing high-quality products isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s often essential for survival and growth in today’s competitive agricultural landscape. Peter is joined by Phillip Warren of Philip Warren Butchers, a business with generations of experience sourcing and selling some of the finest meat in the country, and Matt Chatfield from the Cornwall Project, an initiative that promotes Cornish produce and connects local farmers with top restaurants. Together, they discuss what ‘quality’ truly means in farming and meat production, the pros and cons of the EUROP grading system, alternative ways to assess value such as flavour and provenance, and how the South West is ideally placed to fill high-value niche markets. Listeners will gain insights into the challenges smaller farms face when prioritising quality, strategies to overcome them, and what the future may hold for the balance between quality and quantity in British farming.
