"Zonvarken is an innovative cooperative that combines exceptional animal welfare with sustainable, low-emission farming. Our pigs are raised in family groups with access to indoor and outdoor spaces, free farrowing on straw, and natural environments. By using human food waste for feed and maintaining naturally ventilated barns with green roofs, we create a system that benefits the animals, the environment, and provides farmers with a stable income. We are honoured to receive the Best Innovation Award from Compassion in World Farming, recognizing our forward-thinking approach. This future-fit model is one that not only benefits all but also deserves strong government support." August Offenberg, Co-Founder
