Great presentations, and food, at ‘Cow in the Room’
A great group of speakers, and an enthusiastic NENW audience addressed the 'cow in the room' at events in Armidale at NOVA, and Tamworth at AgSmart Expo.
'Cow in the Room: the role of livestock in managing climate' was the first activity announced as part of the 2022 AgriTech Futures Series.
Speakers led discussion around how livestock can be a major contributor to reducing carbon emissions, and provide nutrient dense protein alongside other plant proteins
UNE SRI is grateful to speakers:

- Dr David Lamb, Chief Scientist, Food Agility CRC
- Dr Sonja Dominik, Sustainability and Welfare Research Group Leader, CSIRO

We are also appreciative of the wonderful meat sourced via Jackson’s Quality Meats, and prepared to perfection by Jarrod Lees during the event in Armidale.
The 2022 AgriTech Futures Series is delivered by the UNE SRI in collaboration with InAg.Tech (NENW’s agtech cluster) as the major Sponsor, with support from the NSW and Commonwealth Government, the Armidale Drought Hub Node and local councils in Armidale, Tamworth, Narrabri and Moree.
