“Secure pork supply,stable nation。”As the largest agricultural sector in China,the pig farming industry represents a market worth valued at over one trillion yuan. However,this vast industry is confronted with a structural imbalance between talent supply and demand. On one hand,the push for intelligent upgrading has increased the demand for highly educated professionals;on the other hand,the remote location and enclosed working environment of pig farms limit their attractiveness to such talent,impeding the flow of skilled personnel to the frontline. Meanwhile,students in higher vocational education are drawn to the industry’s high salaries and career prospects,yet their relatively low educational attainment and insufficient professional background often leave them ill? prepared for farm management roles,creating a competency gap that fails to meet industry needs. This paper analyzes this employment mismatch and proposes integrated strategies—including curriculum reform,strengthened industry– academia collaboration,and resource sharing—to cultivate a workforce capable of supporting the sustainable and high? quality development of the industry.
