The American Society of Animal Science believes that our society must remain a leading source of scientific information on animal well-being and the contributions of animals to human health. To achieve that goal, the ASAS has pinpointed a need to facilitate effective communication among academia, industry, government agencies, consumers and other stakeholders to reach consensus regarding science-based issues affecting animal production.
The Grand Challenge documents were prepared to articulate ASAS priorities, to provide science-based information for shaping public policy, and to enhance future funding for research and education programs in animal science.
The documents are divided into five sections: animal health, agricultural animals and climate change, food safety, global food security and animal well-being.
