Farmers Road to Prosperity HD
Farmers' Road to Prosperity is a program on 3NTV-VTC16, aimed at disseminating successful farming models and technical instructions, in Vietnam and abroad, for learning by farmers across Vietnam. The specific program selected here is about the model on farming lean pigs in Vietnam, which is good in both economic and environmental terms, and an outlook to a honeybee project, which is carried out in a new way and is giving good economic returns for the local people in Kenya.

HI, I LIKE YOUR VIDEO. GREETINGS FROM PHILIPPINES.

Pigs may be 3rd or 4th in intelligence after humans. They understand up to 20 commands, respond to their names, do basic analytic and even abstract mental processing. Moreover, given the opportunity (freedom), they're exceptionally expert at selecting human companions (and, if punished, rejecting others). Their "herd mentality" (leading them to be ever conscious of, and motivated by, not just food but "top pig" honors) provides a fascinating and instructive study of the practices--for better or worse--of human consumers in a capitalistic economy.
But as this pragmatic video on pig farming shows, pigs do not have the "intellectual will power" that enables some humans to reject discomfort through non-narcissistic behavior (e.g. "fasting") that would eventually enhance the comforts of the "top pigs" as well as the rest of the herd. This hardy "natural" survivor allows itself to sleep, eat, and conjugate in "unnatural" conditions (iron and cement "prisons") for the immediate reward of instant gratification (i.e. eating) rather than the longer-term one of the creature comforts that would profit it most.
In a freer environment pigs don't sacrifice their "individual identity" as is the case in a pig farm. instead, individuals in the herd are capable of expressing alacrity and joy, loyalty and conviviality, as well as hostile aggression, stubborn resistance, and morbid depression. What's not clear is whether the mind of a 6-month pig is fundamentally different from that of a 2-3 year-old child. Both exhibit much the same behavior, and both are intelligent but motivated by narcissism and instant gratification.
We may never know exactly how the pig's intelligence at its fullest differs from that of a human infant (though nothing will prevent theologians from asserting such a difference). Regardless, we do know enough about pigs to have 2nd thoughts about eating that next pork chop or bacon strip.
