Pig Business is a 2009 film by Tracy Worcester, a former actress and now an environmental campaigner.

It is a feature documentary investigating the rise of factory pig farming, a system which abuses animals, pollutes the environment, threatens human health through dangerous overuse of antibiotics and wrecks rural communities. The film shows how this system, originally developed in the USA, has been taken to Eastern Europe where the pork, often produced below legal animal welfare standards, is exported to other EU countries, putting local farmers out of business.
