The U.S. Roundtable for Sustainable Beef (USRSB) and the Foundation for Food & Agriculture Research (FFAR) co-hosted a series of focus groups leading to the development of a comprehensive sustainable beef research roadmap. These sessions addressed key sustainability goals and sector targets related to land resources, water resources and air and greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S. beef industry.

Each interactive session investigated the current state of the science related to USRSB’s goals and sector targets. Attendees worked to identify key knowledge and data gaps, as well as challenges and opportunities for the U.S. beef industry. Participants in each focus group actively engaged and worked collaboratively to identify key avenues for future research needed to support the beef industry in achieving its ambitious goals.
The three focus group sessions were open to the public, including all members of the supply chain and anyone interested in the sustainability of the U.S. beef industry. Information collected from these focus groups will inform an invitation-only, in-person workshop to develop a comprehensive sustainable beef research roadmap.
