Integrity in Beef.Defined. Protected.

PURPOSE
Why The Beef Advocate exists
For decades, fine wine has benefited from respected independent voices and clearly defined standards. Beef, despite its cultural, agricultural and culinary importance, has not. In recent years, steak menus around the world have become increasingly shaped by vague claims, inflated breed names and unverified narratives.
Our role is to stand for integrity in meat, to distinguish substance from storytelling and to provide a credible reference point in an increasingly sensitive and complex field.

Define the Global Meat Standard - a criteria framework for responsible meat programmes in steak restaurants
Certify restaurants through evidence-based review
Maintain credibility through ongoing review and programme integrity standards
Provide an official Certified Restaurant Toolkit
Protect integrity in menu language - shifting the focus from labels to proof
Recognise and showcase certified restaurants as leaders in responsible steak gastronomy
Strengthen the future language of trust between restaurant, producer and guest
