FFAR’s Deputy Director of Communications Colleen Daniel spoke on a panel, Lowering Livestock Emissions: Innovations in Technologies, Policies & Finance, at the 28th Annual U.N. Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP28).
This panel, hosted by the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA), Protein PACT and the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI), focused on the importance of collaboration between scientists, funders and farmers to find innovative solutions to livestock emissions. The panel specifically covered:
- Farmers’ role in solutions and their experiences in the field; and
- Technological innovations currently being developed and deployed.
FFAR attended COP28 to highlight the urgent need for pioneering research to help the agriculture sector cope with extreme weather impacts. FFAR’s public-private partnership model is funding some of this critical research through the Greener Cattle Initiative.
