Pork steak is vital! 🥩

🌐 Do you believe you simply can’t get by without that roasted pork chop or a nice, crispy bacon? Well, you’re not the only one! The importance of pork, and all animal protein as a matter of fact, has been highlighted in the UN Climate Summit (COP27), along with the way the livestock sector is moving towards sustainability in the Americas and how it continues to play a central and invaluable role in global food security. 

    •  The panels were on sustainable livestock across regions and production systems, and the commitment of the US pork industry to ethical principles, best practices, grants for the implementation of climate-smart practices, mitigation and adaptation actions, among other key policies.

🌱 The high note was the remark that people sometimes forget the importance of food in achieving recommended intakes of critical nutrients (and keeping you happy!). Sustainability solutions must ensure sustainable production of animal-sourced foods, which improve children's cognition and growth, provide income to thousands of families, and are a cornerstone of many cultures. Not to mention that it’s impossible to throw that barbecue on the weekend without the meat industry, right?
