Sustainability is a vocational principle in the entire Brazilian poultry and pork chain, which is demonstrated in several actions implemented by the production sector. From the grain prodution as inputs up to the table of millions of consumers, national producers and agribusinesses are committed to continuous improvement, in an effort to promote an increasingly healthier and more efficient activity.

When it comes to the Environment, the favorable climate, in addition to investments in renewable energy sources and quality of its facilities, allows Brazil to produce poultry at a lower level of CO² emission. As a reference, it can be 45% below that in the United Kingdom (according to data from DEFRA – UK)  and 50% lower than poultry farming in France (fonte: JCA) In addition, more than 80% of our production is installed in the South and Southeast region, far from the Amazon Biome, which is in the north region of Brazil. 

The favorable climate, the wide availability of water and land are some of the natural condictions that enable the Sustainability of the Brazil poultry and pork production: the supply of agricultural inputs and the lower demand for energy consumption in production systems, contribuite to the animal health and welfare conditions. In the Social dimension, the Brazilian poultry and pork production sectors not only boost the economy of the entire country – including regions further from the large metropolitan centers – but also generate thousands of jobs where their facilities are located. Altogether, these sectors generate about 4 million direct and indirect jobs, with 2/3 of the total number of jobs created by the poultry farming industry and 1/3 by the pig farming industry.

 Based on production from smallholdings, poultry, egg and pork industries in Brazil provide means of income stability for hundreds of thousands of farming families. They combine smallholdings and agribusiness in one large productive link that not only creates income but also excellent quality standards, with control of the process and complete traceability to feed on average 396 million people per year.
