CDFA Secretary Karen Ross (at lectern) and CDFA Deputy Secretary for Climate and Working Lands Virginia Jameson (inset) welcome attendees to the State of the Science Summit: Feed Strategies to Reduce Enteric Emissions, at UC Davis this morning.
This was the start of a two-day conference co-hosted by CDFA and the UC Davis College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences to identify opportunities for collaboration and research that will help animal agriculture meet climate goals for a reduction of methane emissions.
Conference objectives include providing an overview of the need and opportunities for enteric methane reduction strategies to achieve state, national and global methane reduction goals; exploring producer and supply chain support for adopting methane-reducing feed strategies; and hearing agency and producer perspectives.
