The opinion article by the presidents of the interprofessional farm and livestock farming organisations

We present you the opinion article published by the presidents of the interprofessional livestock-meat organisations last Tuesday in El País. The authors of the article are Antonio Prieto, Antonio Sánchez, José Luis Tainta, Raúl Muñiz, Manuel García and Eliseu Isla.
