From farm to fork, today’s food supply chain depends on a transparent, resilient and responsible pork supply chain. The We Care® platform and the Pork Cares Farm Impact Report are designed to support what the food industry supply chain expects from its pork partners: strong animal care, food safety, worker safety, environmental stewardship and sustainability. These programs also help build and maintain trust in the communities where pigs are raised.
