The post North Carolina pork industry loses, but animals and simple decency win appeared first on NC Newsline.

The U.S Supreme Court  this week rejected an appeal filed by the National Pork Producers Council and American Farm Bureau Federation challenging California's controversial Proposition 12. That law, which passed in 2018, requires pork meat sold in the state to come from pigs born to a sow housed in at least a 24-square-foot-pen.In response to the law, the NPPC and AFBF filed a lawsuit seeking to overturn Proposition 12. They claimed it violated the U.S. Constitution's Commerce Clause, which gives Congress the authority to regulate interstate commerce. After the case was thrown out by a lower court, they appealed to the Supreme Court.While the Supreme Court ruled that the case was properly dismissed by lower courts, the decision leaves many unanswered questions about industry-wide changes, pork prices, exports and future legal challenges.In this episode, our Ann Hess talks with NPPC President Scott Hays and Michael Formica, NPPC's chief legal strategist, about the Supreme Court ruling and what's next for the US pork industry. This episode is sponsored by United Animal Health, a leader in animal health and nutrition.

America's pig farmers have long had a commitment to do what's right for people, pigs, and the planet. With that in mind, the National Pork Board – alongside the National Pork Producers Council – has established new industry-wide sustainability goals and metrics to drive the industry forward. These commitments are rooted in the We Care® Ethical Principles established more than 15 years ago and represent the industry's collective commitment to food safety, animal well-being, our people, public health, the environment, and local communities.In September 2022, the Advancing U.S. Pork Sustainability grant submitted by National Pork Board (NPB) and six collaborating organizations was awarded $20 million through USDA's Partnership for Climate-Smart Commodities program. The grant program is designed to increase the sustainability of U.S. pork products by advancing climate-smart agriculture practices in Iowa, Minnesota and Missouri.In this episode, we take a look at the efforts that are underway in the pig industry as it strives to be a leader in sustainability.
