A combination of such sustainable practices and efficient and biologically secure farming could prevent significant starvation scenarios in the future. So, in this episode, Rick Bergmann discusses swine health, trade issues, and political matters, highlighting pork production's importance in tackling food security issues and the importance of international cooperation and supply chain strength in the swine industry.

Ministers MacAulay and Ng released a joint statement addressing the final rule on "Product of USA" labeling regulations for meat, poultry, and egg products by the United States. "We value the close collaboration between Canada and the U.S. in the meat and livestock sectors, ensuring food security and supporting local food systems," they said. Expressing concern about potential disruptions to the integrated North American supply chains, they emphasized the need for solutions that benefit both countries. Ministers MacAulay and Ng stated they were disappointed with the final rule's apparent oversight of their concerns. Canada plans to address this issue in the upcoming trilateral meeting with the U.S. and Mexico. The statement concludes with a commitment to carefully review the rule's impacts and implementation to safeguard Canada's meat sector's access to the U.S. market. 🌎 https://lnkd.in/g2g-4hir Stay informed about trade discussions – follow us on all our platforms!
