2024 Sustainable Beef Research Roadmap Workshop

The U.S. Roundtable for Sustainable Beef (USRSB) and the Foundation for Food & Agriculture Research (FFAR) will host a Beef Sustainability Research Roadmap Workshop. The two-day workshop will take place October 28-29, 2024. 

The workshop will provide an opportunity to convene key subject matter experts and stakeholders from across the beef value chain to present critical research, pilot projects, collaborations and other relevant initiatives related to USRSB’s High-Priority Indicator Goals and Sector Targets. In particular, this workshop will focus on USRSB’s overarching goals and cow-calf and feedyard sector targets related to the indicator areas of air and greenhouse gas emissions, land resources and water resources. The primary outcome from the workshop will be the identification of research and knowledge gaps across these indicator areas. From this, USRSB and FFAR will publish a gap analysis and research roadmap that will provide guidance on future research activities.  

Due to limited available space, the in-person workshop is invitation only; however, there are opportunities to engage in this effort through three, targeted virtual focus group session.

Video: Lanxess Tech Talks with Dr. Gisele Ravagnani: It’s winter – what changes in biosecurity?

Dr. Gisele Ravagnani joins Lanxess Tech Talks to unpack the science behind effective barn disinfection—how chemistry, contact time, temperature, organic load, and surface prep drive kill rates. We get practical on entries and boot dips, trailer/load-out protocols, biofilm control, winter performance, and the most common mistakes that waste product and time. Clear, barn-level checklists you can use tomorrow to tighten biosecurity and protect herd health.
