Join the Council for Agricultural Science and Technology (CAST) for the live release of its new publication, Animal and Plant Sourced Proteins as Part of a Balanced Human Diet.

This issue paper explores the evolving global demand for dietary proteins and the nutritional, environmental, and societal implications of protein production. From amino acid balance and digestibility to sustainability and equity, the authors discuss how animal and plant proteins each play critical roles in achieving a healthy and sustainable global food system.

During this webinar, the authors will:

• Present key findings and recommendations from the paper.

• Discuss the role of protein diversity in nutrition and food security.

• Examine environmental challenges and sustainable production strategies.

• Explore how complementary protein sources can optimize amino acid balance.

Speakers:

• Dr. Shengfa F. Liao – Mississippi State University (Chair)

• Dr. Jeffery K. Tomberlin – Texas A&M University

• Dr. Samer El-Kadi – Virginia Tech

• Dr. Luis O. Tedeschi – Texas A&M University

Why attend:
This discussion will help researchers, producers, and policymakers understand the trade-offs and synergies between animal- and plant-sourced proteins — and the path toward a nutritionally adequate, environmentally sustainable global diet.
