Implications of Pig Production on Human Health and the Environment Research Program
1. A list of outstanding questions regarding the effects of pig production on human health and the environment will be developed. The list will be prioritized based on the importance of understanding the effect of pig production on human health and the environment and the development of an appropriate pig waste management technique.
2. From the prioritized list research questions will be incorporated, as applicable, into PWMTDP projects selected for that research cycle.
3. From the remaining list of questions, research programs, including cost estimates, will be developed for the top five questions.
4. Selection of questions from this list for implementation during the research cycle will be coordinated with PWMTDP projects based on the availability of funding and staff.
