Pilot 5: Implementation of sustainability aspects in the quality pork program of a regional chain
The implementation of an innovative pig production system based on integrated sustainability criteria or sustainable breeding strategies is the content of this pilot chain. Criteria from the in Module II developed sustainability handbook will be used to extend an existing quality programme at farm level.
Sustainability aspects are for example:
- animal health and welfare
- environmental impacts
- genetic resources
- human working conditions
- meat quality
- social conformity etc.
The developed system in this pilot chain could be applied by other companies in the agricultural sector.
The team of the fifth pilot chain consists of the following partners:
Business partner:
Landwirtschaftlicher Beratungsdienst Schwäbisch Hall
Bäuerliche Erzeugungsgemeinschaft Schwäbisch Hall
Research partner:
L'institut national de la recherche agronomique
Coordination:
GIQS e.V. (Trans Border Integrated Quality Assurance)
