This is the title of an article published this week by AgWeb on some research currently underway to understand beef production vulnerability to changes in climate over time.  A team headed by Dr. Dan Devlin, an agronomy professor at Kansas State, is working on a five-year project to monitor beef cattle’s response to environmental factors under a grant from USDA-NIFA.  They hope to identify ways to make beef production more resilient to changes in the climate as well as find ways to reduce beef’s environmental impacts by improving water efficiency and soil quality, for example.  You can read about the project by clicking here.
