This week on the podcast I speak to Dr Frank Mitolenher about the impact of greenhouse gas emissions from the agricultural sector on the global climate change challenge. We talk about how the perception of the agricultural sector has changed over time in his career in light of climate change. We talk about the impact of a methane tax on NZ farmers, and other solutions internationally used to help reduce methane emissions. We talk about the things that move the needle on climate change, the power of buying locally and other topics related to environmental health.

Dr.\xa0Frank\xa0Mitloehner\xa0is\xa0a professor and air quality specialist\xa0in cooperative extension\xa0in the Department of Animal Science at UC\xa0Davis. As such, he shares his knowledge and research,\xa0both domestically and abroad,\xa0with students, scientists, farmers\xa0and ranchers,\xa0policy makers,\xa0and\xa0the public at large.\xa0Frank is also director of the CLEAR Center,\xa0which has two cores \u2013 research and communications.\xa0The CLEAR Center\xa0brings clarity to the intersection of animal agriculture and the environment,\xa0helping\xa0our global community\xa0understand the\xa0environmental and human health\xa0impacts of\xa0livestock, so\xa0we\xa0can make informed decisions\xa0about the foods\xa0we\xa0eat\xa0and\xa0while\xa0reducing\xa0environmental impacts.\xa0

Frank\xa0is committed to making a difference for generations to come.\xa0As part of his position with\xa0UC Davis\xa0and\xa0Cooperative Extension, he collaborates with the animal agriculture sector\xa0to create better efficiencies and mitigate pollutants.\xa0He\xa0is\xa0passionate about understanding and mitigating air emissions from livestock operations, as well as studying the implications of these emissions\xa0on\xa0the health of farm workers and neighboring communities. In addition, he\xa0is focusing on the food production challenge that will become a global issue as the world\u2019s population grows to nearly 10 billion by 2050.\xa0

Frank\xa0received a\xa0Master of Science\xa0degree in animal science and agricultural engineering from the University of Leipzig, Germany, and a doctoral degree in animal science from Texas Tech University.\xa0Frank was recruited\xa0by UC Davis in\xa02002, to fill its first-ever position focusing on the relationship between livestock and air quality.\xa0
