Ag Education

Hog production is an important part of Saskatchewan’s agricultural sector. Resources are available on why we raise pigs, the relationship between the farm, the food we eat and how agriculture impacts our daily lives.

Sask Pork supports Agriculture in the Classroom, Farm and Food Care Saskatchewan and ag-education events and initiatives across the province.
