Throughout the pandemic we were all forced to find new ways of working. One of the success stories from this was the possibilities that virtual discussion groups and webinars offered. During one such meeting, not only was the concept of using technology reach a wider audience discussed, but also the opportunity it could offer to engage with and learn from pig producers around the world. Here we present the first in a series of international pig clubs as we travel (virtually) to Brazil.

AGENDA AND SPEAKERS
Andrew Palmer, Knowledge Exchange Relationship Manager.
Dr. Guilherme Brandt, a vet and livestock consultant based in Paraná, Brazil.
Guilherme has been working with Brazil's largest producer of pigs and poultry, Brazil Foods (BRF), for more than 30 years. BRF is one of the largest global food companies, present in 117 countries, with more than 100,000 employees, with one goal: offer a better life for everyone. Watch this video to learn about the Brazilian pig industry. From production methods, genetics, marketing, public perceptions, health issues, government support and more.
