Carbon footprint calculator is introduced
On Thursday at World Pork Expo, the Pork Checkoff announced the release of a new software tool for pork producers—the Live Swine Carbon Footprint Calculator.
Developed with the technical expertise of the University of Arkansas’ Applied Sustainability Center, the user-friendly application allows producers to input their on-farm data from the sow or grow-finish side of production to compute the carbon footprint of an entire barn of pigs from breeding to market.
Brownfield’s Ken Anderson discussed the new tool with one of the developers, University of Arkansas professor of chemical engineering Dr. Rick Ulrich.
