Title: Different terms used in other languages to describe organic meats/grassfed meats
Post by: TylerDurden on May 01, 2011, 04:09:49 am

I'm interested in finding out the exact terms used to describe "organic meats" and "grassfed meats" in Germany, France and Italy. I can think of some long-winded translations but they are unlikely to be used by organic-food-consumers. Any help appreciated.

  Don't believe a word of it. I used to live in a remote village in Correze where the impoverished farmers would just take their cattle out to pasture to feed. They may have, foolishly, also fed them a little grain back at the farm, but I doubt it as they were not intensive-farmers but just small-time peasant-farmers who preferred their cattle to feed themselves when in the open.

The term "grassfed" may not exist per se in France, but grassfed meats sure do exist in reality.
