The word sustainability seems to be everywhere, but what does it mean to the animal feed industry? It’s about more than greenhouse gas emissions and climate change, and this symposium will begin to unravel this complex landscape and industry opportunity. You’ll hear directly from feed industry members who are grappling with this challenge with specific emphasis on what’s driving sustainability metrics and how the animal feed industry can better serve its customers. The presentations will be followed by a panel discussion where we can dive in even deeper to the depth of what sustainability means for animal feed.
