New meets old at the shores of the Black Sea

In one of the easternmost places of the European Union, pig farming is a mix of both opportunities and challenges – as well as an interesting combination of modern farming practices in a traditional countryside. Degaro Farm, not far from Constanta, Romania, came in Danish hands in 2011, and has since stepped up its productivity to 32 piglets/sow/year.
