The Iowa State University College of Agriculture and Life Sciences in conjunction with University Extension is pleased to host a national conference entitled: "Mitigating Air Emissions from Animal Feeding Operations: Exploring the advantages, limitations, and economics of mitigation technologies" to be held May 19 – 21 at the Hotel Fort Des Moines in Des Moines, IA.
This conference is intended to provide practical information related to mitigation of air emissions to technical service providers, extension personnel, industry consultants, and facility owners and operators.
During the last decade, increased attention has been given to odor and air emissions from animal feeding operations by researchers, regulatory authorities, the public, environmental organizations, funding sources, and production facility owners and operators. This topic has gained importance at the local as well as the national and international level. Also, as individuals seek to build new facilities and to co-exist with increasing residential neighbors, mitigation of odor and air emissions is at the forefront.
Additional information is available on the conference website.
