Beef Central, 14/02/2022

REDUCING emissions in grazing enterprises will be focus of the first BeefConnect* webinar of 2022, with a respected scientist sharing some practical tips.

Dr Steve Wiedemann is principal scientist and managing director of Integrity Ag and Environment, a specialist in sustainable agriculture and environmental research.

He has spent his career working to address some of agriculture’s biggest challenges, including greenhouse gas mitigation, water resource management and working with producers to develop new intensive livestock facilities.

For the first BeefConnect webinar on February 22, Dr Wiedemann will share practical steps to reduce emissions based on his experience in:

  • carbon accounting
  • life cycle assessment
  • resource use efficiency
  • environmental management
  • waste and nutrient management
  • environmental guideline development
  • agricultural extension

The aim is to expand knowledge and awareness of the practical, win-win options producers can take to reduce methane emissions while increasing the profitability of a grazing business.
