Animal Agriculture Sustainability Summit to highlight advancements in US industry sustainability programmes at 2022 IPPE

The annual Animal Agriculture Sustainability Summit will once again be held at the 2022 International Production & Processing Expo (IPPE) in Atlanta, Georgia, the United States.

Sponsored by the US Poultry & Egg Association (USPOULTRY), the American Feed Industry Association (AFIA) and the North American Meat Institute (NAMI), the summit is scheduled to happen on January 25, 2022, and is offered free of charge to all registered IPPE attendees.

The summit has invited the senior agriculture advisor to the Administrator of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Rod Snyder, as the keynote speaker to provide perspectives on animal agriculture and food supply chain sustainability initiatives relative to EPA efforts to mitigate climate change and improve water quality.
