Education
BettaPork Tours
More than five educational tours take place every year at BettaPork ranging from primary school students through to participants in higher education agricultural courses. The family is a fine example of environmental awareness and promotes the development of this attribute in the next generation. Above all, the Brosnan family wishes to instill in our youth a commitment to progress, forward thinking and welfare innovations to grow the agricultural industry indefinitely.

Food Production Education Resources
Australian Pork Limited has developed three Food Production Education Resources aligned to the new Australian curriculum in Technologies, Science and Geography.
The units contain activities aiming to educate students and the wider school community on the following:
- Systems of care used by farmers for pigs that are grown, raised and processed for food and how farmers manage these systems;
- Sustainable resource management practices in food and fibre production; and
- Food production (pork) in managed systems and how these systems are becoming more sustainable.
There are separate units for the junior primary, primary and junior secondary years of schooling.

“Students of today will be the decision-makers of the future and it is vitally important that we empower them to learn about their food futures, the environment in which food is grown and produced, and ways food is processed and prepared for eating. ”
