Evaluating The Potential Of Genotype And Feeding Strategy On Reducing Age At Slaughter In Dairy Beef Systems, Jamie O'Driscoll
ORBioM (Open Research BioSciences Meeting)
Background
Agriculture is the largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions in Ireland with enteric fermentation from ruminants accounting for 58% of Ireland’s methane emissions. Research has shown that beef cattle excrete on average, approximately 230g of methane per day, if the national slaughter age reduced by one month, methane output would reduce by over 12,000 tonnes of methane annually. Therefore, a reduction in age at slaughter will lessen the contribution of Irish agriculture to global emissions and enhance its social acceptance and competitiveness.
Aims
The objective of this study is to investigate the potential of reducing age at slaughter through …

Urban Food Systems Symposium
Over the last 10 years, there has been a resurgence in urban agriculture in an effort for Black communities to reclaim autonomy over food sources and diets and a way to empower them to engage once again in the agricultural industry. This reconnecting builds collective agency and community resilience (CACR) (White, 2019). The benefits of urban agriculture within Black communities bring spiritual, mental, and physical wellness to the forefront, empowering upward mobility and encouraging an autonomous revenue structure. This research looks to the pioneers of the community supported agriculture (CSA) movement as a rooted framework for self- sufficiency, communal resilience, …
