Education of youth is one step to increasing an understanding of the hog industry. As the future consumers of our commodities, educating children is essential. It is important to provide them with useful knowledge for future decisions.
In today’s society, there tends to be fewer connections to farms and agricultural operations.
In addition to educating youth, it is also important to provide accessible and accurate information to the general public, especially those that do not have an agricultural background.
Some educational tools used by Alberta Pork include the Pig Science Centre, which is an extension of our education activities that is tied to the Ambassador Program.
Provided on this site are some resources, such as the Pig Basics 101 and The Dirt on Pigs and the Environment pdf fact sheets, which can be downloaded and printed.
Through several educational initiatives, the pork industry provides information on issues such as animal care, food safety and environment to audiences unfamiliar with the agriculture industry.
