The strategy aims to address these challenges ahead for our industry:

• How can we sell every part of the pig for the best return at home or overseas?
• How do we continue to protect the reputation of pork and promote its benefits to consumers?
• How do we continue to improve animal health and welfare, and reduce our impact on the environment?
• How can we improve production efficiency in a way that supports the reputation of British Pork, while remaining competitive at home and overseas?

You can view the strategy HERE. The closing date for feedback is January 31, 2021.
