SUMMARY:International Conference on Zero GHG Emission in High Productive Agriculture
DESCRIPTION:The international conference on ‘Zero Greenhouse Emission in High Productive Agriculture – ZEA’ will be held 3 – 5 May 2022 in Copenhagen\, Denmark. The conference is organised by Aarhus University and hosted and financially supported by Novo Nordisk Foundation and the venue is Tuborg Havnevej 19\, DK-2600 Hellerup. \n\n\n\nGreenhouse gas emissions from agriculture originate from livestock\, manure\, soils\, land use and fossil fuels. Society is increasingly successful in reducing emissions from non-agricultural sectors\, and within a few years\, agriculture will be the sector with the largest greenhouse gas emissions\, unless new production systems and technologies are introduced. \n\n\n\nThis conference will give experienced and young scientists a forum to present novel technologies and management practices with a Zero Greenhouse Gas Emission in High Productive Agriculture (ZEA) potential to reduce greenhouse gas emission\, to discuss their work with fellow scientists and present this in the context of the overall policy targets. \n\n\n\nVisit the conference website to register before 31 January 2022\, abstracts must also be submitted by 31 January 2022. \n\n\n\nDownload ZEA conference flyer

SUMMARY:Webinar: Scaling up feed additives & evidence for impacts
DESCRIPTION:As the livestock sector seeks to achieve net zero emissions by 2050 to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement\, efforts to identify greenhouse gas emission mitigation opportunities have accelerated. A new industry of feed additives and concentrates claiming to reduce emissions is rapidly expanding. \n\n\n\nYet\, skepticism remains\, and a lack of user-friendly synthesis of existing research has left investors and policy makers without a clear indication of feed additives’ potential. Are additives that mitigate methane available or effective? Are there any associated constraints or risks? Are they scalable? \n\n\n\nThis webinar brings together experts and industry stakeholders to address the evidence and discuss the role of additives in mitigation strategies for livestock and opportunities for scaling feed additives. \n\n\n\nThe discussion is based on an in-depth assessment of leading compounds studied for their efficacy to mitigate methane emissions in ruminant livestock. The report is a concise resource that can guide investment and management decisions by all actors in the livestock supply chain and inform policymakers\, industry investors and feed industry advisers on the effectiveness\, applicability\, and broader commercial issues surrounding methane reducing feed additives. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAgenda \n\n\n\nItemWhoWelcome & openingLini Wollenberg\, Climate and Food Specialist\, Alliance of Bioversity International & CIAT\, One CGIAR  Keynote talks Evidence for efficacy and applicability of methane inhibiting feed additives for livestockMitigating methane in livestock systemsRoger S.

SUMMARY:Info Webinar: 2022 Joint Research Call between Ireland and New Zealand
DESCRIPTION:New Joint Research Mechanism on climate and agriculture launched between Ireland and New Zealand \n\n\n\nThe Joint Research Initiative enables research calls to address the impact of high to medium-intensity grassland livestock systems on the climate and the environment. It builds on established research links between Ireland and New Zealand and strengthens existing cooperation and collaboration between funders and researchers on a bi-lateral basis. \n\n\n\nThe first research call under this initiative has been launched – “Strategies\, technologies and novel production systems to reduce and account for greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture ruminant production systems”. \n\n\n\nSubmissions are open for proposals until 5pm 15 July 2022 (Irish time). \n\n\n\nTopics for this call are: \n\n\n\nRumen Microbiology to Support the Development of Ruminant GHG Mitigation TechnologiesIdentification and development of technologies for the selection of low emitting ruminant livestockRefinement of agricultural GHG emissions inventories through the development of emission factors for Nitrous Oxide and Carbon\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThere will be 2 webinars for applicants at these dates and times: \n\n\n\n10am 18 May (NZ time) register here 10am 25 May (Irish time) register here \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nFor more information refer to the 2022 joint call for research proposals. \n\n\n\n2022 joint call for research proposals [PDF\, 1.1 MB]

SUMMARY:Webinar: Managing pastoral systems to maintain or increase soil C & reduce N2O emissions
DESCRIPTION:Join the NZAGRC for their upcoming webinar titled “Managing pastoral systems to maintain or increase soil carbon and reduce nitrous oxide emissions”. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSoil organic carbon is originally derived from carbon dioxide inputs through photosynthesis while plant respiration continuously returns captured carbon to the atmosphere. Small changes in the balance of photosynthesis and respiration lead to either gains or losses of soil carbon. Globally\, about 20% of the extra carbon dioxide accumulated in the atmosphere has come from the management of agricultural lands. Finding ways to reduce losses or create gains in soil carbon is critical for managing the greenhouse gas burden on the planet. \n\n\n\nThis webinar focuses on the role that managing pasture swards and forage crops have on soil carbon storage in New Zealand’s pastoral systems. It will also address the greenhouse gas trade-offs associated with land management practices\, in particular practices targeting reductions in nitrous oxide emissions and the associated impact on soil carbon. \n\n\n\nDuring the webinar\, participants will have the opportunity to ask questions using Zoom’s chat function. Louis will use the final 20 minutes of the session to answer as many questions as possible. The Chair will select and ask questions on participants’ behalf.
