We believe it is important that in a changing environment consumers can continue to discover in a contemporary way where their food comes from. After all, alongside water and air, food is a basic element of our existence.
Knowledge of where food comes from is becoming less and less. This is because producers and consumers have become increasingly distant from each other. At educational institutions and families, this knowledge is also less and less available. The knowledge is and remains important when making choices about spatial development, food health and food security. This is where we want to respond!
Our mission is: to contribute transparently to the knowledge of where food comes from. We provide a platform for everyone who wants to share or discover knowledge about the production and consumption of food. Here, the pig is central.
Through PorcusCampus, a knowledge center has been built where citizens, students and groups can receive information, courses and training on history, contemporary and future food production. Central to this are piglets of different breeds.
Throughout history, piglets have always played an important role in providing food for various populations. They are animals that are easily satisfied and can efficiently convert food scraps into high-quality meat. PorcusCampus has various pig breeds for educational purposes, all of which have different origins. In particular, consumer culture and production environments have contributed to the emergence of different breeds over the centuries. In addition to showcasing these different breeds, PorcusCampus can share this knowledge in an engaging way. This can be done through barn tours, field trips, courses, training sessions, and overnight stays.
