Safeguard Natural Resources

Sustainable farming is successful farming. We are focused on doing more with less—our farmers find innovative ways to operate their farms. One way we promote sustainable animal agriculture is through the cycle of using animal manure as a natural fertilizer for crops which, in turn, becomes feed for the animals.

Studies show that compared to 50 years ago, today’s hog farmers are using less land and less water to produce pork. NC Pork Council remains committed to protecting our natural resources for future generations.
