What’s the Carbon Footprint of Your Feed? New Evidence on Distillers’ Grains and Soybean Meal
March 19 at noon CT
As pressure mounts to measure and reduce the carbon footprint of beef production, feed inputs have become a critical focal point. But co-products like distillers’ grains and soybean meal, which can be large portions of rations for cattle and hogs, are often treated as an afterthought in carbon accounting. This webinar presents new research quantifying the carbon intensity of these feeds using regionally grounded models and economic allocation methods. We show how carbon intensity differs across production regions, irrigation practices, and feed forms, and why allocation assumptions can shift results. Attendees will gain a clearer understanding of how feed carbon intensities are constructed, how to interpret sustainability metrics, and why the assumptions in this accounting really matter.
