Pork producers have always focused on doing what it takes to get better: from producing safer meat to improving our environmental practices; to adopting new techniques that help us take better care of our animals. We continue each day to look for ways to improve and to build a better tomorrow.
This year's Pork Industry Forum promises some other interesting news. Producer Delegates will see how the new marketing campaign designed to refresh and reinvigorate the image of pork in the minds of US consumers introduced a year ago at this event is doing. Producers at Forum were the first to see the new campaign last year and this year they’ll be the first to see the early results.
Delegates will also be hearing about progress in the industry's We Care initiative designed to build consumer trust in the way we produce pork.
