10 Years of Data in First-Ever U.S. Broiler Chicken Industry Sustainability Report
Whether you recycle, compost or are even conscious about turning lights off, you care for our planet. Well, the environment is top of mind for the U.S. chicken industry, too, all the way from the hatchery to your dinner table. To us, sustainability means being responsible stewards of land and water, animal and feed management, our people and communities. So we compiled a decade of data from 2010 to 2020 to identify what we’re doing right and areas we can improve.
The main takeaway? We’re proud to show that we’re nourishing more people and raising each bird with less environmental impact and fewer resources. But we also humbly admit this is the starting point for many more years of collective environmental and social effort by our industry.
