2025 State of the Science Summit: Reducing Methane from Animal Agriculture
Thank you to those who attended the 2024 State of the Science Summit: Reducing Methane from Animal Agriculture, either virtually or in person. Recordings of presentations are posted on the CLEAR Center's YouTube page. The report from the summit is available here.
The California Department of Food and Agriculture and the UC Davis College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences invite you to participate in a two-day conference: State of the Science Summit: Reducing Methane from Animal Agriculture. The Summit will be held May 19-21, 2025 at the ARC Ballroom at UC Davis.
The Summit will include informational presentations and panel discussions with leading experts in methane mitigation and animal science, connecting the dots between the scientific and regulatory aspects of feed strategies to reduce enteric emissions. Our goal is to identify opportunities for collaboration and research that can help the dairy and beef industries meet climate goals.
Registration for our 2025 conference is now closed. If you are still interested in attending, please email caesevents@ucdavis.edu to inquire about space availability.
Morning snacks and lunch will be provided both days. A reception will be held the first evening on the conference. If you are unable to attend in person, please register for the virtual option when registering.
Additionally, the Summit will have space for companies with products aimed at reducing enteric methane, or assisting in that effort, to have poster space during breaks and reception. Please check the box on the registration page, noting your request for space.
