Description
A fascinating glimpse into industrial animal agriculture, Pig 05049 chronicles all of the different products made using the raw materials provided by a single pig. Rotterdam-based designer Christien Meindertsma documented the process in this photo book. The name refers to the number of a pig raised and slaughtered on a commercial farm in the Netherlands. In the book, the designer presents the use of every body part of the pig via products made with specific raw materials. Apart from the expected food products, like bacon, for example, she also found that a pig can provide the raw materials for a huge range of non-food items. Among the 185 products found by the author, there’s ammunition, cigarettes, bio diesel, and train brakes. Pig 05049 by Christien Meindertsma is currently in its 5th edition. The book has received the Dutch Design Award and the Index award in the category Play.

Such a great book! I highly recommend it.

I recently picked up a copy of “Pig 05049” by Christien Meindertsma, and I have to say, it’s been a fantastic and eye-opening read. The author takes us through the many different products that can be made from a single pig – and not just the food products we’re all familiar with!
It’s been fascinating to discover how our everyday items, like train brakes and even bio-diesel, can be made using the raw materials provided by our curly-tailed friend. The photography in this book is truly captivating, and it’s clear that a lot of thought and care went into creating it.
Overall, I’m thrilled with my purchase and would highly recommend “Pig 05049” to anyone curious about the impact of industrial animal agriculture on our lives. It’s a great conversation starter and a fantastic addition to my book collection.
