Sustainability. Supply chain uncertainty. Carbon markets. There is no shortage of hot topics in the pork industry. Join the National Pork Board, in partnership with Cargill Animal Nutrition & Health, for a deep dive into these topics and more during a three-part webinar series that was originally recorded at the World Pork Expo in June.

Webinar #1: Sustainability of modern protein production in times of global supply chain uncertainty

Supply chain challenges. Labor shortages. Sustainability pressures. Market volatility. These are a few phrases we’ve all heard on the news frequently over the past several months. But how do these challenges directly impact the pork industry and your operation? Join us for a discussion with Ruth Kimmelshue, Corporate Senior Vice President leading Cargill Animal Nutrition, to hear a global perspective framed for the pork industry.

Webinar #2: Sustainability in the pork industry — what's coming and why pork producers need to be ready

Sustainability isn’t a buzzword that’s going away. In fact, there are more global factors than ever before that will continue to put pressure on food producers. Join Dr. Frank Mitloehner, professor, and air quality specialist at UC Davis CLEAR Center, to learn the latest on what’s happening globally when it comes to sustainability and how producers and companies can stay ahead of the curve.

Webinar #3: Decoding carbon markets — what do they mean to you?

Carbon markets are the latest buzz but what exactly are they? How do they work? What questions should you ask? Join Ashley McDonald, assistant VP of sustainability at the National Pork Board, and Marisa Martin, executive director of the Pollination Group, to hear more about what carbon markets mean and how you can leverage them in your business. 

The National Pork Board has developed On-Farm Sustainability Reports for all pork producers to take credit for work you’re already doing on your operation. These reports will help you measure, document, and share your sustainable farm practices and give you ideas for areas to improve.
