Nature's design vs. human intervention. A woman's milk production is triggered by childbirth, a natural process. But for dairy animals, milk production is induced through artificial insemination, a human-made process. And let's not forget, every meat or animal product comes from an animal that was raised and killed for our consumption. Food for thought: is our appetite worth the cost? #foodforthought #animalconservation #sustainability #animalrights #saveanimals #govegan

Whether it’s a family meal, a team meeting or just old friends catching up, real connection begins around the table. Inspired by the power of coming together in this way, our President and CEO, Jeff Simmons, launched Shared Table, a monthly LinkedIn Newsletter that covers the real conversations he's having with animal health industry leaders on big topics from climate and sustainability to access to pet care to the challenges of leading in a post-COVID world. In the first newsletter, Jeff sits down with Frank Mitloehner, Ph.D., Director, UC Davis CLEAR Center, Department of Animal Science to discuss livestock and their role in climate and sustainability. Watch "Trust, Cows, Milk and Climate" as the two talk about the latest innovative solutions in the dairy industry, how the cow can be part of the how to reduce climate warming and the path to climate neutral animal agriculture farms in this decade.

Healthy Animals, Healthy Food, Healthy World: Innovation "Did you know that animal health is directly connected to a healthy food supply and a healthy planet?"  "Studies show that 75% of emerging infectious diseases in humans have an animal origin. What does this tell us about global health?" "The way we care for animals impacts everything." Vetecom's Seed to Fork program recognizes the profound link between animal health, sustainable agriculture, and the safety of our food supply. Healthy animals require fewer resources, minimize environmental impact, and are less susceptible to diseases that can threaten human health. To achieve this, we've harnessed the power of cutting-edge technologies like global animal data tracking, genomic and biomonitoring, and advanced hybrid data analytics. This allows us to track animal well-being and health breeding anyware in the world, identify potential disease outbreaks early, and optimize farming practices for both efficiency and ethical standards. The impact is undeniable: healthier livestock, reduced environmental strain, and a safer, more transparent food system for all. "Discover the future of food production with Seed to Fork. Our innovative technology-driven program unlocks unprecedented insights for sustainable, ethical practices.

🌍 Exploring the Hidden Ecologies of Food Waste in the Meat Sector 🌱 While the environmental impacts of using animal meat as a protein source are well-documented, there’s a lesser-known but equally critical issue at play: the biomass created from food waste in the meat industry (A staggering 65% loss of biomass, from farm to plate, and to the bin). Based on regional solid waste disposal regimes, this overlooked aspect is shaping new and complex ecologies, with significant implications for human, animal, and environmental health. These intricate and often misunderstood interactions are at the heart of the ONE HEALTH on ONE PLANET approach, emphasizing the interconnectedness of all life forms. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for fostering a sustainable future.

Excited to see how tech and innovation are changing the world! 🌍 With all the data out there, it's vital we use these advancements to benefit both the environment and society. Check out the episode “The Next Big Tech Boom? It’s on the Farm.” It dives into how tech is revolutionizing farming, improving food quality, sustainability, and tackling food security issues. Plus, consumers are increasingly prioritizing ethical animal treatment and high-quality feed—because better animal welfare means healthier, tastier products. At Verdi, we’re all about supporting farmers and consumers, and we’re proud to share work that aligns with our mission! https://lnkd.in/dgpx7RMK #AgTechTuesday #Innovation #Sustainability #TechInAgriculture #FoodSecurity #EthicalFarming #Verdi #AgTech

The Biggest Change We Need to Make 🌍 | ft. Klaus Mitchell of Plant Based News If we don’t make a change, the future of our planet and health is at serious risk. 🌱 Join Klaus Mitchell of Plant Based News as he breaks down the urgent and undeniable impact of our current food system on the environment, public health, and animal welfare. 🐟🌳 From the depletion of 90% of large fish in our oceans to the destruction of the Amazon rainforest—80% of which is driven by animal agriculture—Klaus exposes the shocking statistics we can't afford to ignore. We’re talking about the very real threats of antibiotic resistance, infectious disease outbreaks, and the toll of industrial farming on both land and sea. 🚨 It's time for us to make the biggest change possible. This isn’t just about going vegan; it’s about saving lives—human, animal, and the planet’s. 👉 Watch now to learn why making the shift to a plant-based lifestyle is the most impactful choice you can make for a sustainable future. 👍 Don’t forget to LIKE, COMMENT, and SUBSCRIBE for more eye-opening discussions on veganism, sustainability, and the future of our planet. 👉 Video from Plant Based News #KlausMitchell #PlantBasedNews #SaveThePlanet #AnimalAgriculture #Sustainability #RealMenEatPlants #VeganForThePlanet 

Did you know? 1. Around the clock every 10 minutes, 1,3 million land-living farm animals are killed for food. In total, that's 70 billion land-living farm animals yearly. Every 24 hours, that's around 192 million animals. To put that huge number in perspective, the entire human population (8,1 billion) would be wiped out of existence in 42 days with the same rate. 2. Every year, it's estimated that 100 million animals, birds, fish, and mammals are killed by plastic pollution. The reason it is an estimate is because it's only the animals found that are counted, and the number is believed to be higher. 3. Between 55-66% of global antibiotics are given to animals in agriculture due to their poor living condition and giving humans, consuming meat, dairy, etc, a residence towards antibiotics. Based on the above facts, I would strongly agree with the penguin 🐧, would you? By accelerating the improvement of global animal protection, we can accelerate the healing of our home.

Big news from Agriculture Innovation Mission for Climate (AIM for Climate) at #COP29! Environmental Defense Fund and partners launched an Innovation Sprint to drive investment into better animal health and climate outcomes. Animal health is key to planetary and human health, too. This first-of-its-kind global campaign will bring together philanthropies, the public and private sectors, and scientists to align financing, accelerate research, and increase support for farmers. The goal? To deliver animal health improvements that also: ✅ Reduce methane emissions from livestock systems. ✅ Lower food waste. ✅ Enhance nutritional security and livelihoods for smallholder farmers around the world. With Global Methane Hub, New Zealand Agricultural Greenhouse Gas Research Centre and International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI).

Technology is Enabling Improved Sustainability for Dairy & Beef farmers, a trend that must be accelerated if we want to ensure the growing demand for beef & dairy protein is met, while protecting the environment. On the 13th of May, Ludgate Hub invited me to present at their EcoTech 2024 seminar. Moonsyst International are enabling this across the 3 pillars of sustainability by: 1. Improved Animal Health (Social) 2. Strong Business Case for farmers (Economic) 3. Improved efficiencies and GHG monitoring (Environment) The demand for high quality beef & dairy protein is expected to double in the next 25 years, which regions are best equipped to services this demand sustainably? I'd be interested in peoples comments ✍ #SustainableFarming #DairyInnovation #EnvironmentalImpact
