Innovation for a Low-Emission Livestock Future

AAAS 2026 opens with a powerful exploration of how science is shaping the future of sustainable livestock production. Professor Ermias Kebreab, delivering the prestigious Underwood Lecture, will present Innovative Pathways to Low-Emission Livestock. A global leader in climate-smart livestock systems, Professor Kebreab will examine how advances in modelling, nutrition, and production systems are helping agriculture reduce emissions while maintaining productivity. The session continues with Professor Sonia Liu, who will discuss Precision Nutrition in Poultry Production: Challenges and Successes. Her work highlights how data-driven feeding strategies are transforming poultry production efficiency while improving sustainability outcomes. Together, these keynote presentations set the tone for a conference focused on practical solutions for climate-resilient and efficient animal production systems.
