Final report of the Green Pig project

In order to remain globally competitive and comply with government policy that promotes sustainable pig farming and reduce environmental impact, the British Pig Industry must seek viable and sustainable alternatives to sourcing high quality protein feedstuffs whilst maintaining desirable levels of output. Green Pig investigated the potential of using UK grown peas and faba beans in growing and finishing pig diets, to reduce reliance on soya bean meal (SBM) and its associated environmental concerns.

Net Zero

In 2015, the UK pledged to be Net Zero by 2050, with the NFU striving for the more ambitious target of 2040. Net Zero is achieved when the amount of greenhouse gases (GHG) emitted is balanced with those removed from the atmosphere. This helps to combat climate change and reduce global warming.

Pulse Crops

Pulses are leguminous crops harvested for dry protein-rich seed, with peas (pisum sativum) and beans (vicia faba) being the major crops in the UK.
