Another Shortage Pending
9 November 2021
On the 8th November 2021 it was reported that DEFRA (the UK’s Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs) have detected HPAI H5N1, an allegedly deadly form of avian flu in Warwickshire.
As a result an Avian Influenza Prevention Zone (AIPZ) has been declared across Great Britain. A statement in the article made by Chief Veterinary Officers for Wales, England and Scotland says:
Whether you keep just a few birds or thousands, you are now legally required to introduce higher biosecurity standards on your farm or small holding.

Is this just another timely, engineered crisis like all the others we’ve seen this year?
