Research is at the heart of the National Pork Board’s (NPB) mission, including our targeted goal of elevating the role that pork plays in human nutrition. In the past several decades, we have worked to zero in on nutrition-related effects for pork consumers across various life stages, for pork producers as they respond to consumer needs and for the pork agricultural industry as we aim to support the health of people and the planet.

More than 60 NPB-supported nutrition research studies are compiled across 22 years, inclusive of the foundational research we continue to build on, the research categories we are investigating, and top-line findings for each study.
