399: Pigs Tomorrow conference 2023: What you need to know

In this episode of the Food and Farming podcast, we bring you the highlights of the recently held Pigs Tomorrow conference in Leicestershire. The event united pig producers, experts, and researchers for two days. It was a platform to tackle key challenges and actively explore innovation within the global pig farming industry. We explore labour in pig farming and its influence on working towards a more sustainable future.
