Disinformation affect particularly the porcine branch. Between fake news and rumours, which way the wind is blowing when it comes to our food, especially the meat we eat.

In order to discuss about verified informations, the French, Spanish and Portuguese porcine sectors get together and called Hopscotch Sopexa, R2 and Tactis to create a fun and young campaign.

“Let’s talk about Pork” is an information campaign, supported by the European Union, for the millennials. It aims to set the record straight about everything they hear and see in medias concerning pig farming.
