Animal production and management: A buffet of options
Description
U.S. Farmers & Ranchers in Action established an independent scientific working group to analyze the potential for U.S. agriculture to collectively reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and possibly achieve a state of negative emissions, or emitting fewer total GHGs than are sequestered. The resulting report, “Potential for U.S. Agriculture to be Greenhouse Gas Negative,” was peer-reviewed and published. In this episode, we dive deeper into one of the key areas of opportunity outlined in the report: the potential for enhancing animal production and management.
Join Farm+Food+Facts host Joanna Guza and Logan Thompson, assistant professor and Extension specialist at Kansas State University, and Ermias Kebreab, associate dean for global engagement in the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, as well as director of the World Food Center at UC Davis, as they explore this opportunity. Discover the range of opportunities available to farmers and ranchers and the importance of financial sustainability.
