#214 - The Real Pork Trust Consortium: Connecting consumers and the swine industry by Dr. Alexa Lamm

Hey there!

That's my first episode as one of the hosts for The Swine it Podcast Show, and to celebrate that, I had an exciting talk with Dr Alexa Lamm. Dr. Lamm shares her insights on how she helps address public concerns related to food production and environmental issues. Much of today's episode will delve into the workings and mission of the Real Pork Trust Consortium, which has emerged as a catalyst in bridging the gap between the public and the pork industry. As part of a robust research and training component, different institutions work hand in hand to ensure that accurate and comprehensive information circulates among consumers.

1. The Real Pork Trust Consortium

2. Addressing consumer concerns
