Keep a Pig - Your Contribution to the War Effort
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative poster, produced by the Small Pig Keepers Council during World War II, encourages the public to keep pigs as a means of saving waste and producing food for their families. The image features a man in a cardigan and hat, cheerfully feeding a pig from a bucket of slops, or kitchen waste, against a backdrop of a lush garden. The poster's text reads, "Keep a Pig: Your Contribution to the War Effort." During World War II, food rationing became a necessity as resources were diverted to the military. Keeping pigs at home was an effective way to reduce waste and increase the availability of food for families. The pigs would consume kitchen scraps and garden waste, transforming them into meat, lard, and other valuable by-products. This historical poster is a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of people during times of hardship. It encourages us to reflect on the importance of self-sufficiency and the role that livestock can play in reducing waste and providing sustenance. The image of the man in the cardigan and hat, feeding his pig from a bucket of slops, also serves as a reminder of the close relationship between farmers and their livestock, which has been a part of human history for thousands of years. The "Keep a Pig" poster is a valuable historical artifact that reminds us of the resilience and adaptability of people in the face of adversity. It is a reminder that even in the most challenging of times, we can find ways to contribute to our communities and provide for our families, while also reducing waste and living sustainably.
