To help pig husbandries to improve their environmental results, this study aims at producing a reference table from 16 types of pig breedings: 8 are representative of existing systems in France, and 8 are imagined systems built on the basis of an environmental optimization. The reference table provides the assessment of environmental impacts of a kilogram of pig at farm gate (by Life Cycle Analysis (LCA)), and socioeconomic indicators of the breeding. The results make it possible to identify the most strategic steps of the life cycle of the pig production to be improved and which are accessible to the breeders. It was also possible to identify environmental efficiency of various strategies concerning feed and manure management, and diverse implementations of environmental best practices. The socioeconomic indicators show the various levels of access to the action levers.
