“…The great advantage of these grasses will be to increase wildlife habitat and greatly protect the soil from erosion, despite being harvested for aboveground biomass each year. Research will be needed to understand what the effects of harvest frequency and timing will be on various forms of wildlife, on soil and water quality, and on hydrologic processes at the field and watershed levels (Sanderson et al, 2011).…”

“…Program-provides financial and technical assistance to agricultural producers through conservation program contracts to help plan and implement conservation practices that address natural resource concerns and that improve soil, water, plant, animal, air, and related resources on agricultural land (including grasslands and improved pastures) In addition, opportunities to improve environmental outcomes through improved management of grazing systems will likely occur with the greater technical knowledge gained in the joint USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and USDA Agricultural Research Service (ARS) partnership in the Conservation Effects Assessment Project (Sanderson et al 2011).…”

“…In the world's lower income countries, grassland and woodland that support ruminant grazing are proportionally more important than other land uses, compared to middle‐ and high‐income countries. Grazing lands provide a wide range of ecosystem services, including provision of food, livelihoods, biodiversity, habitat, carbon storage, and water filtration . The role of grassland ecosystems as net sinks or sources of GHGs is poorly understood, limited by sparse data regarding management impacts on the flux of nitrous oxide and methane.…”

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations estimates that 843 million people worldwide are hungry and a greater number suffer from nutrient deficiencies. Approximately one billion people have inadequate protein intake. The challenge of preventing hunger and malnutrition will become even greater as the global population grows from the current 7.2 billion people to 9.6 billion by 2050. With increases in income, population, and demand for more nutrient-dense foods, global meat production is projected to increase by 206 million tons per year during the next 35 years. These changes in population and dietary practices have led to a tremendous rise in the demand for food protein, especially animal-source protein. Consuming the required amounts of protein is fundamental to human growth and health. Protein needs can be met through intakes of animal and plant-source foods. Increased consumption of food proteins is associated with increased greenhouse gas emissions and overutilization of water. Consequently, concerns exist regarding impacts of agricultural production, processing and distribution of food protein on the environment, ecosystem, and sustainability. To address these challenging issues, the New York Academy of Sciences organized the conference "Frontiers in Agricultural Sustainability: Studying the Protein Supply Chain to Improve Dietary Quality" to explore sustainable innovations in food science and programming aimed at producing the required quality and quantity of protein through improved supply chains worldwide. This report provides an extensive discussion of these issues and summaries of the presentations from the conference.
