Build-a-chick: Planetary claw-prints of meat chickens.
What do you need to 'build' a chicken to eat as meat? What has making chicken for meat got to do with the challenge of helping the UK meet its carbon net-zero target in 2050?
Build-A-Chick is a convivial and thought-provoking workshop that offers an opportunity for people to explore what goes into the 'making' and 'processing' of chicken for meat consumption. How are they cared for? Where does the heat to keep them warm come from? Where does the food they are fed come from? Where do the parts of the chicken carcass go that British consumers tend not to eat?
Build-A-Chick is aimed at anyone; families, students, adults. Craft a chick from a yellow stuffed-felt egg shape. Sew on wings, legs, beak and eyes. Then tell us about your chick through completing a chick passport. Finally, watch Winner Winner Chicken Dinner by team artist Kathryn Ashill.
Build-A-Chick is created and facilitated by we, the UKRI Changing Agri-Chicken for net-zero team, based in Geography with colleagues from other institutions and the poultry industry. We are interested in learning about how chicken consumers, retailers, processors and farmers are thinking or acting to contribute to the UK's Net-Zero by 2050 goal.
