While many in agriculture are working on becoming carbon-neutral, the National Pork Board says pork producers are already there.
Bill Even with the National Pork Board tells Brownfield that recent environmental studies show the pork sector is environmentally friendly. “According to the U.S. EPA data, the U.S. pork industry contributes less than one-half of one percent of greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S. so we are really close to being carbon neutral, or climate positive as they would say.”
Even says the board has since asked nearly 200 pork producers to have the data certified by a third party.
