21-Mar-2011 (15 years 2 months 15 days ago)Manitoba Pork is proud to present a strong vision for long-term sustainability on behalf of the province’s pork producers. The plan, called Embracing a Sustainable Future, is to be shared with all Manitobans.
It is comprised of 82 commitments that reflect some existing and some new approaches to green farming practices, barn location, animal care, farm safety, research, education and public awareness, food safety, trade and social responsibility.
Embracing a Sustainable Future is the culmination of three years of research, writing and consultation and is very much a collaborative effort. It is intended to open a conversation with all Manitobans about how farming is done. It is a living document that Manitoba Pork will constantly revisit over the coming years.
