Project Title

Southern German pig production - future-oriented, climate-friendly, economical (SüdSchwein4Klima)

Project description

The project focuses on climate-friendly pig production in consideration of economics an animal welfare. To transform this value chain into a climate-friendly, animal welfare-oriented and economically sustainable southern German pig production, the existing information platform "Qualifood" needs to be upgraded with a central sustainability module. For this purpose, data and knowledge from various projects in Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria are bundled, synergies are used, developments towards sustainability are controlled and along the value chain the exchange of information is intensified. In addition, a climate check for pig farming will be developed, which will enable the farmers to estimate how climate-friendly they
produce on farms. This will be accesible to all pig farms in Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria via "Qualifood" to strengthen their competitiveness.

Final report

Results and the Final report will be found here, as soon as the project is completed.

Results focusing on practiceorientation

The digital information platform “Qualifood" is being updated with a sustainability module that can be
used by all pig farms in Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria. The sustainability module contains the "climate check" and other sub-modules in which data and information from previous projects and this project are bundled. This requires the results from the individual work packages:
- Development of a climate check for pig farming
- Status Quo analysis of the value chain for Southern german pork producion with focus on
sustainability aspects
- emission reduction potential of using biogas plants
- emission reduction potential in Southern German big breeding
