The AMPC Knowledge Hub: Turning industry knowledge into action
In today’s fast-paced and highly regulated red meat processing industry, access to accurate, practical information has never been more important. As plants adapt to new technologies, respond to workforce pressures and meet evolving compliance standards, having the right knowledge at the right time can drive real improvements in productivity, safety and performance.
Launching in September 2025, The Hub will bring together the best of what the red meat processing industry already knows and will make it easy to find, apply and share. It has been built in response to industry-identified needs to simplify access to trusted information, reduce duplication and support evidence-based decision-making.
What’s in The Hub?
The Hub will include two core components designed to meet the operational needs of processors:
Searchable Industry Resource Library
- AMPC-funded research, industry benchmarks, tools, calculators and case studies
- Forums, discussions and events for collaboration and knowledge exchange
Quality-Assured Training Courses
- Vetted online and virtual reality courses
- Multi-language options for diverse workforces
- Topics including induction, food safety, animal welfare and more
- Download to your learning management system or request access to a managed system
To ensure that every resource is practical and relevant, The Hub has been developed with extensive input from processors, trainers, researchers, and industry experts with deep experience across plant operations, workforce development, and compliance.
By compiling and tagging resources based on topic, process type and focus area, The Hub removes traditional barriers to knowledge. A processor searching for “hands-off processing” can instantly access trusted tools, case studies, training and relevant research. This ensures the right content is not only available but easily applied in plant settings.
Why It Matters
The Hub is a central part of AMPC’s commitment to building a high-performing, sustainable and innovative red meat processing industry. It helps unify the industry's knowledge base and turn information into action by connecting plants with the insights and training they need to stay competitive and future-ready.
Benefits include:
- Faster, evidence-based decision-making
- Less duplication and rework across industry
- Stronger innovation and training outcomes
- More collaboration across the supply chain
- Increased productivity through smarter systems and skilled teams
AMPC Program Manager People and Culture Amanda Carter said, “The Hub is a long-term investment in industry capability.”
“Industry research, insights and training have the potential to transform how we work. But without the right infrastructure, that knowledge often remains out of reach or unused. The Hub brings together the ideas, experience and evidence that already exist across our industry, making it easier to find, share and build upon. It is a practical tool to help us go further, faster.
“The Hub will also serve as an LMS platform to support processing plants in maintaining accurate training records. It’s a platform with tailored industry materials that can be accessed by the whole industry.
“The Hub will launch fully in September, with new content added regularly to ensure it remains current, practical and aligned with industry needs.”
