Smart, quick, trainable and built to turn the inedible for humans into food while
producing huge quantities of manure, the pig is a useful component of The
Change Underground System. Not everyone will have the space to breed pigs
but one or two can be fattened with milk and excesses from the gardens. The
System can be structured around the pig. Weaner to slaughter would be about
six months. Two pigs a year would fit nicely with the seasonal production of
fruit, vegetables, grains and herbs. This would require the construction of
a small sty but this could be built out of straw bales and cycled through
the system after each pig has been slaughtered.
Remember waste is always an input somewhere in the Change Underground
System.
