Know Your Community: Animal Agriculture and the Environment

Abstract

The Animal Agriculture and the Environment (AAE) Community of ASA (Environmental Quality Section) brings together members of different backgrounds to understand how livestock operations have the potential to reduce their environmental impact using a holistic approach. Agricultural systems typically apply cutting-edge technologies to thrive in an increasingly food-demanding world. Integration of agricultural systems with the different components of the food chain supply creates opportunities to enhance resiliency and sustainability in the long term.
