The Lower Yakima Valley in Washington state has been home to large-scale animalagriculture for decades, but in 2008 when one dairy operation tried moving onto the Yakima Indian Reservation, the community balked at the proposition. As the number of animals stuffed onto corporate farms increases, so has the amount of waste.

This system provides an unparalleled solution for removing moisture and oxygen from gas streams, addressing critical purification challenges in livestock applications such as biogas production from manure digesters. Join the next Cattlemen’s Webinar Series to hear more about what this updated rule means for you.
The organization introduces beneficial plants called green manure/cover crops which fertilize the soil, control weeds, and respond to periods of drought. Their work tackles a range of food systems issues including food equity, animalagriculture, urbanization, food waste, seafood, and healthy and sustainable diets.

Alternative Manure Management Program (AMMP) The RPFSA does not contain a proposal to support AMMP technologies as envisioned in the ARA or the COWS Act. RPFSA upholds several competition measures in the animalagriculture supply chain, like the establishment of an Office of the Special Investigator for Competition Matters.
