A pioneering agricultural project in Ezhou, China, has come to life, introducing the world's largest pig farm, spanning across two 26-story buildings, as part of an initiative by Hubei Zhongxin Kaiwei to modernize China's pork production. Capable of rearing 1.2 million pigs annually, this vertical farm is designed to improve efficiency and reduce environmental impact, with each floor serving as a self-contained farm for different stages of pig life. Utilizing advanced technologies like high-definition cameras for monitoring and a conveyor belt for feed distribution, this project aims to address China's pork supply issues, which have been exacerbated by trade disputes, the Covid-19 pandemic, and the war in Ukraine. This venture is among many industrial pig farms in China that are being developed to boost domestic pork production, which stands at 51 million tons for 2022, up from 47.5 million tons in 2021.
