Our Practices
We are all interconnected: human well-being, animal welfare, and the environment.
BRF believes that human welfare relates to animal welfare. Which makes us work increasingly integrated at all stages of the chain, from the farm to the table.
The concept "One Health" emphasizes the bond between animal welfare, human welfare and the environment. It builds on and complements the “one world, one health” concept to achieve comprehensive approaches in support of global sustainable development, meeting the company's sustainability strategy.
In addition, for the adoption of best practices, the company guarantees constant training for the teams of managers, technicians, producers, drivers and operators, in addition to improving the production process, encompassing management, nutrition and health care.
