The group of institutes participating in the Core Organic Cofund POWER project, including FIBL, CREA, INRAE, has published a handbook aiming at increasing the health and welfare of organic pigswhile reducing the environmental footprint of the farming systems. It provides a common toolbox of knowledge-based strategies for designing and managing concrete outdoor runs, reducing piglet mortality and health problems and improving system resilience and sustainability. Best practices and innovative examples from across Europe are presented to inspire and facilitate the continuous development of an economically competitive production, which meets the principles of organic farming.
