Ph.D. in Climate Change and Animal Agriculture is a research-intensive program that investigates the effects of climate change on animal agriculture and cattle production systems. The curriculum, which typically lasts 3-5 years, addresses critical topics such as greenhouse gas emissions from livestock, climate-resilient farming techniques, sustainable feed and nutrition, animal health, and the environmental effect of farming systems. Students conduct interdisciplinary research on climate science, agriculture, animal science, and environmental sustainability. Graduates can work in academia, agricultural policy, environmental organizations, research institutes, or the agricultural industry, with a focus on climate change mitigation and animal agriculture sustainability. Admission typically needs a Master's degree in animal science, agriculture, environmental science, or a related discipline.
