African swine fever destroying small pig farms, as factory farming booms – report

Small farmers across the globe are losing out in the aftermath of the African swine fever (ASF) outbreak that killed a quarter of the world’s pig population, argues a new report.
Nowhere is this more evident than China, where swine fever has hit the country’s nearly 40 million small-scale pig farmers hardest, says the report by non-profit organisation Grain.
China’s long tradition of small-scale pig farming seems to be coming to an end because of a lack of government support to compensate for culled or diseased pigs, to pay for veterinary costs or chemicals for limiting the spread of ASF, and other biosecurity measures in existing facilities, according to Grain.

“Unfortunately, small farmers are getting almost no support, from what we can see,” said Devlin Kuyek, lead author of the report.

After the first notification of the ASF outbreak in China in August 2018, the illness spread rapidly throughout the industry and led to the slaughter of millions of pigs within months.

Just a year later, however, the startling rise in pork prices meant that, despite their losses, many of the biggest industrial pig producers were achieving record profits.
Looks like a life sentence in prison for the pigs kept in these conditions...

Hi all,


My daughter has recently upgraded her laptop for a new one and the old one is now for sale.



It's a C40D-C (Model No: PSCRNA-004004). Specs as per this link: anz.dynabook.com...
The link says it has 2GB of RAM, however we upgraded that to 8GB.


I have completed a full Windows 10 clean install on it so it looks like it's brand new when switched on. Effectively it's how you would get it if you were to have bought it from a shop.


One big plus point - because she needed it for school, it has Windows 10 Pro installed, not Home edition.

It's not the fastest machine on the block, but it works fine and looks completely in as-new condition, with original charger.


Pickup from Western Springs

Price: $225
