Innovation, Sustainability, and Resilience in Australian Pork | Edwina Beveridge

Edwina and her husband run Blantyre Farms, a 2,200 sow pig farm and a mixed farm of sheep, cattle and crops, near Young, NSW, Australia.

In operation for more than a decade, a methane digestion system captures methane gas from pig manure and converts it into electricity. Blantyre also utilizes food waste products for pig feed and saves 13,500 of tonnes of landfill each year. The NSW EPA has awarded Blantyre with a Green Globe Award for Resource Efficiency.

• How using liquid feeding and food waste products can help reduce feed costs and create new opportunities on a pig farm.
• How capturing methane from pig manure can generate electricity and lower energy costs on the farm.
• How pig producers in Australia are dealing with activist pressure and protecting their farms and teams.
