The global food system
is undergoing change in consumer behavior, new and dynamic business models, and
emerging technology. The National Pork Board hosted its first-ever Swine Innovation
Summit recently to discuss what the industry can do to address these trends.
Andy Brudtkuhl is the director of emerging technology with the National Pork Board.
“For the last year we’ve been looking at the innovation space and emerging technologies and trying to figure out what the role is of the pork checkoff and one of those that stood out is this idea of being a catalyst to build an ecosystem.”
He tells
Brownfield they discussed what pork producers need to know and how they must
adapt to the changing trends facing food production.
