the 7th International Symposium on Mediterranean Pig will be held in the Córdoba (Spain) on 14-16 October 2010. This symposium addresses the various studies about extensive pork production systems in the Mediterranean as a possible alternative to intensive farming.

Such meetings have been held since 1987 under the form of International Symposiums on the Mediterranean Pig in Ajaccio (France, 1987), Badajoz (Spain, 1992), Benevento (Italy, 1995), Évora (Portugal, 1998), Tarbes (France, 2004) and Capo d’Orlando (Italy, 2007). It is worth noting that the last two editions of the symposium have been enriched with the participation of countries from Eastern Europe (such as Slovenia and Croatia). The 8th symposium is due to be held in 2013 in Slovenia.
