Environment
The Australian pig industry is committed to ensuring environmentally sustainable pork production. To meet and exceed the increasingly stringent regulatory requirements in each state the pork industry has developed the National Environmental Guidelines for Piggeries to facilitate a consistent environmental regulatory approach.
The National Environmental Guidelines for Piggeries provide a general framework for managing environmental issues associated with piggeries and a benchmark for assessing their environmental sustainability. Based on latest scientific information and best industry practice these guidelines facilitate management of environmental risks and reduction of the environmental footprint of pig production in a consistent regulatory approach throughout Australia.
