For the past years, my research focus has been sustainable animal agriculture. As a researcher, my focus is on building a sustainable meat production system and consequently, improving livestock production and the world we live in. These are critical and growing areas in agriculture, not only in the USA but also around the world, as they enable the increased productivity of beef cattle production systems in a sustainable way, providing high-quality food for the growing population.
