Suggestions to tackle <strong>the</strong> <strong>future</strong> <strong>challenges</strong> <strong>of</strong> organic animal husbandry<br />

The <strong>future</strong> <strong>of</strong> organic pig husbandry is connected with a sustainable use <strong>of</strong> soil, which is feed<br />

source and manure sink. The challenge is to study thoroughly <strong>the</strong> connections between pigs, soil<br />

and crops in order to correctly include pigs into <strong>the</strong> crop rotation.<br />
