Sustainability has emerged as a significant topic of discussion in the realm of pig production over the last few years. It's clear that it plays a crucial role in guiding the industry's efforts to enhance both the environmental and financial viability of operations. To this end, I engaged in an insightful discussion with Jamie Burr, Chief Sustainability Officer of the National Pork Board, who contributes with years of experience and expertise to the field. For Burr, sustainability is a continuous improvement journey that aims to improve practices that are better for pigs, people, and the planet.
"Recognizing that our customers' sustainability journey is intertwined with ours, we dedicate ourselves to meeting them where they are." - Jamie Burr
