Consumers want more info on environmental impact of food
A new report, titled "Climate Change & the American Diet," found that half (51%) of Americans surveyed said they would eat more plant-based foods if they had more information about the environmental impacts of their food choices. However, 70% rarely or never talk about this issue with friends or family. Nearly two-thirds of the Americans surveyed reported having never been asked to eat more plant-based foods, and more than half said they rarely or never hear about the topic in the media.

FDA endorses lab animal retirement policy
The Food & Drug Administration has enacted its first-ever policy allowing lab animals to be retired to private homes, rescues and sanctuaries when testing ends.
"There are occasions in which healthy live animals are available following their intended use in regulatory investigations, FDA said in its policy. "FDA fully supports the transfer of such study animals to other FDA animal program protocols, government agencies, accredited academic institutions or accredited laboratory animal facilities for further researcher, to long-term private homes or farms for adoption as pets or to [Animal Welfare Council] approved retirement sanctuaries that can provide suitable and human living conditions for these animals."

ADSA-GSD webinar: Overcoming challenges in the dairy industry
Feb 20, 2020 03:00 PM in Central Time (US and Canada)
Please join us for the next ADSA Graduate Student Division webinar, as we learn from Dr. Eric Bastian of Dairy West and Dr. Alex White of Virginia Tech about how the dairy industry is overcoming current challenges. Dr. Eric Bastian began his career a professor at the University of Minnesota in the Department of Food Science and Nutrition, and for six years he led a research team focused on milk protein and enzyme chemistry, process cheese functionality, and milk protein fractionation. In 1998, he accepted a position with Avonmore West (now Glanbia), as director of research and development (R&D), and relocated to Twin Falls, Idaho. He was promoted to vice president of R&D for Glanbia Nutritionals in 2006, and in 2015, he was promoted to senior vice president of innovation. During his time at Glanbia Nutritionals, he developed a research team, starting with 5 people and building to a team of 80. In July of 2016, Bastian joined Dairy West as vice president of industry relations, and in 2019 he also became director of the Western Dairy Center. Dr. Alex White has taught a wide variety of college courses at The Ohio State University, North Carolina State University, Ferrum College, and Virginia Tech for the past 25 years. Always an academic generalist, he has worked in several academic departments over his career. A majority of his career has been in the field of agricultural economics, but he taught personal financial management in the Department of Apparel, Housing and Resource Management for five years. He likes to joke that "if it involves a.dollar sign, he teaches it." White taught part-time in the Virginia Tech Department of Dairy Science for 4 years before joining the faculty full-time in August 2016. This webinar is open to all ADSA members. The webinar will include two 20-minute presentations, each followed by a live question-and-answer session. Topics to be discussed will include dairy finance, sustainability, new dairy products, and much more! CLICK HERE to register,
