GGAA2007 will be held from 26-29 November, 2007 in Christchurch, New Zealand.

Building on the successful GGAA2001 held in Japan and GGAA2005 held in
Switzerland, our theme in 2007 is “Developing livestock systems for greenhouse
and productivity benefits”.

You are invited to attend, and listen to the latest scientific advances in the
area of greenhouse gas research in animal agriculture that will contribute to
providing the information that industry and governments need to achieve
cost-effective greenhouse gas mitigation outcomes.

The programme format will comprise three days of invited and offered addresses
from many of the best international and local researchers, poster sessions on
two days and participatory workshops chaired by eminent international research
scientists.

Optional Expert Workshops include:

• ‘Measurement of enteric methane production in grazing animals using tracers’.
Facilitators: Harry Clark & Junichi Takahashi
• ‘Innovations for addressing the urine problem’ Facilitators: Richard Eckard &
Cecile DeKlein
• ‘Current challenges in biogas production from animal waste’. Facilitator: To
be advised

Main conference sessions include:

* Advances in abatement of methane and N2O from free range & housed animals:
Manipulation Technologies
* Advances in GHG microbiology
* Manure management and biogas production
* Whole farm modelling & economic impact
* Broader greenhouse science (Non-ruminant, CH4 and N20)
* From effective technology to effective abatement – How policy can  help
* From effective technology to effective abatement – Attractive and achievable
for livestock managers

The proceedings from the conference are scheduled to be published in The
Australian Journal of Experimental Agriculture in November/December 2007.
