Prof Chris Reynolds on how we can cut the environmental impacts of animal production

Farming is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions and global warming. Farm animals play a big role in these emissions. At the same time we increasingly recognise the importance of animals to soil health and therefore the long term sustainability of food production. Chris Reynolds and his team at Reading University are researching how we can  reduce the environmental impact of meat and dairy production by changing the ways we manage our animals. Chris started his career in the USA and brings a fascinating perspective to this crucial field.
