Summary

GrowSave – Pork is a web-based benchmarking platform developed by the UK Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board to facilitate comparison of resource efficiency across pig producers. The tool enables farmers to identify operational improvements relative to peer performance, supporting sustainable intensification. Published evidence on uptake, user engagement, and quantified production or environmental outcomes appears limited in the public domain.

Regional applicability

This tool is directly applicable to United Kingdom pig production, being developed and maintained by AHDB as a national resource. It reflects UK policy priorities for sustainable intensification and farm business resilience, though data on its adoption rates and measurable impact on industry-wide efficiency gains would strengthen its evidence base.

Key measures

Resource efficiency metrics in pig production (likely feed conversion, energy use, water consumption, and waste management, though specific measures are not detailed in available metadata)

Outcomes reported

The tool enables pig producers to benchmark their resource efficiency metrics against peer performance data. It aims to identify operational improvements and support sustainable intensification in pig production.
