Abstract
The production of pigs plays a crucial role in global agriculture, providing a vital source of animal protein for human consumption. However, the expansion of pig farming poses significant environmental concerns. Thus, promoting sustainable practices in pig production is imperative to ensure economic efficiency, environmental protection, and animal welfare. In this context, we delve into various aspects of sustainable pig farming, ranging from waste management to water resource conservation. Our aim is to offer guidance and recommendations for more responsible and environmentally conscious pig production.
Furthermore, we explore diverse facets related to sustainable pig production, including the significance of environmental education, responsible agricultural practices, and their environmental impacts. Topics such as waste management, water resource conservation, animal welfare, and community engagement are addressed. Through this review, we seek to raise awareness about the importance of sustainable pig farming, identify challenges and opportunities, and provide actionable guidance for the adoption of responsible agricultural practices in pig production.
