It is desirable to consider food production as a chain, with animals on the farm (pre-harvest) then going for primary processing (harvest), secondary processing & distribution followed by final preparation (all post-harvest). This "Farm to Fork" concept can be easily described by considering a steer on a farm going to slaughter at the abattoir, then the hamburger production plant, then being distributed to a supermarket. It is then sold, taken home, stored, cooked & eaten.

Veterinary Public Health concerns all aspects of food production chain from controlling epidemic diseases that may impact on agriculture to ensuring slaughter is conducted safely & humanely to informing the public on safe ways to store & cook hamburgers.
