The Center will take an interdisciplinary, multi-state
approach to collating and disseminating existing information. A basis
will be set for the long-term development and implementation of animal
waste management practices that are economically, environmentally and
socially sustainable by identifying knowledge and technology gaps and
facilitating the research, development and education needed to fill
those gaps. Using a systems approach that integrates technologies across
species and regions, Center efforts will support sustainable animal
production practices that reduce environmental risks and meet public
needs and concerns.
