Summary
Pork producers of all sizes and types are dedicated to
raising a high-quality, ideal protein source and a safe food
product for consumers in an environmentally friendly and
humane manner. Pork producers know that to prosper, they
must implement environmentally sound management practices
and continually adapt to changing technologies and market
demands.
Pork producers are also consumers and they have families
sharing the same environment as their neighbors. Pork
production is a way of life, but it also is a business. Pork
producers seek a living by providing a product that
consumers desire. It stands to reason that practices that
are detrimental to their animals or to their land also are
detrimental to their business.
As more consumers request a specific product, whether it is
antibiotic-free pork or free-range pork, a segment of the
pork industry will tailor its production
to meet these needs. The pork industry is constantly
changing and U.S. pork producers will continue to stay in
the forefront of producing a safe, wholesome pork product
for consumers around the world.
