Self-Sustaining Swine Production Operation
Summary
Swine production lags behind demand ever since government-subsidied feed was curtailed five years ago. This operation is intended to convince farmers that production of swine can be coupled to production of their feed using locally adapted root crops with low incidence of pest and disease problems through a composting and biogas digester system.
