178. How the Pork Environmental Roadmap supports real improvements on farm

Published on May 6th, 2026

The Pork Environmental Roadmap sets out a clear, evidence‑based view of the sector’s environmental footprint and highlights where producers can make the biggest impact – building on the progress already happening on British pig farms. 

Hugh Crabtree, Pork Sector Council Member, explains how and why the roadmap was produced, and what it means for our industry.

It has been both an honour and a pleasure to chair the industry’s steering group during the development of the Pork Environmental Roadmap for the British pig sector, which was launched on 21 April 2026.
