Resources
We Care – The Sustainability Platform for the U.S. Pork Industry
Sustainability for America’s pork producers is about doing what’s right for people, pigs and the planet by following the industry’s We CareSM ethical principles.
We Care gives the pork industry a solid foundation to build upon. The next step is to measure efforts in each of the ethical principles. Pork producers are encouraged to tell their farm’s sustainability story by requesting a customized On-Farm Sustainability Report.

AgView: The Path to Protection Against an FAD
AgView is a free, opt-in technology solution from the National Pork Board that helps producers of all sizes and types provide disease status updates and pig movement data to state animal health officials.
This promotes business continuity for America’s pig farmers by uniquely making disease traceback and pig movement data available to the USDA and state animal health officials on day one of a foreign animal disease (FAD).
For the U.S. pork industry, AgView is the path to protection for America’s pig farms that will help navigate uncertainty in the event of a crisis.
