With a population of around 150 million, there are more pigs than any other livestock category in the EU! The sector is supported by the Common Agricultural Policy, but it is facing serious challenges… Its negative impact on the environment, concerns about animal health and an uncertain international context need to be addressed if the sector is to become more sustainable in the future and match the EU’s green ambitions.

This infoclip provides illustrative images of a wide range of agricultural activities in various EU member states. In Slovenia, a farm breeds wild pigs. In Spain, the Cicytex research center provides services of high added value to companies in the sector of Agro-Food Technology. Still in Spain, a cooperative is active in the milk, meat and animal feed industries, and has a strong presence in internationalization and commercial development, and a another farm produces Manchego cheese with the milk of 8000 sheep. In Germany, a family farm produces about 1700 organic eggs per day.
