Description:
Given all the discussion about the extent of the effect that greenhouse gases may have on worldwide climate and debate about ways to limit climate change, a natural question is "What is the role of animal agriculture as a source of greenhouse gases?" Some publications and media commentary have identified livestock production as a leading source of greenhouse gases. In the June 11th webcast, Frank Mitloehner from UC Davis will counter information presented in Livestock's Long Shadow, a widely read and referenced book, that implicated consumption of red meat and other animal products as a primary contributor to climate change. Attend the webinar to learn the basis behind Dr. Mitloehner's position on this issue and obtain an additional perspective from another presenter (to-be-confirmed). An application for continuing education credit for Certified Crop Advisors (CCAs) and members of the American Registry of Professional Animal Scientists (ARPAS) will be submitted.
