Italy

Northern Italy pig culls related to African swine fever (ASF) are nearing the 100,000 mark in 2024, reports UKR AgroConsult.

African swine fever continues to ravage pig farms in Italy, with at least 24 separate outbreaks and hundreds of farms affected.

In October 2023, Arkansas became the first state to ban foreign-owned farmland. More states look to adopt similar laws, but one policy expert says the issue is rooted in politics and warns of unintended consequences.

A case of African swine fever (ASF) was detected in a wild boar in Italy, authorities said on Friday.
