| Introduction |
 |
| The American Samoa Interagency Piggery Management Council (ASIPMC) was formed to address the problems of improper piggery waste management and to improve the husbandry skills of pig farmers in the territory. The interagency approach allows member agencies to pool resources and effort towards a common goal and deliver a clear, concise, united message to the community. |
| The American Samoa Interagency Piggery Management Council aims to protect human health, the environment and to improve the quality of pig husbandry in American Samoa. This will be achieved by addressing the environmental impacts of piggery waste through a comprehensive program of applied research, community education, and the development and implementation of locally appropriate piggery waste management practices. |
| Member agencies include American Samoa Community College-Agriculture, Human and Natural Resources, USDA-Natural Resource Conservation Service, American Samoa Environmental Protection Agency, American Samoa Department of Commerce-Coastal Zone Management Program, American Samoa Power Authority, American Samoa Department of Agriculture, American Samoa Soil and Water Conservation District, American Samoa Resource Conservation and Development Board, American Samoa Department of Public Health (invited). |
