Pig farming has a long history of interaction with humans, as evidenced by fossil records found in various parts of the world. In Italy, ls pig farming has assumed a significant role in agricultural practices, with the tradition of pig farming in Emilia dating back to the late Middle Ages.[Gransuinoitaliano]. Today, There are about 27, 000 pig farms in Italy, but if we include family farms the number rises to 115 ,000. The largest number of facilities is concentrated mainly in Campania, but intensive-type production is concentrated in Lombardy, where half of all pigs in the country are raised. Lombardy is followed, again in number of facilities, by Piedmont,Emilia Romagna and Veneto. These animals in Italy are often used for the production of products exported all over the world, such as PDO hams, salami and other sausages.[Beinganimals] The global market size of the pig breeding industry was $30.6 billion in 2022, and decreased 2.2 percent from 2021.[Ibisworld] This study focuses specifically on the pig farming market in Italy.
