Biography
I have a livestock background and work on feed intake, feeding and grazing strategies for sheep. I did my doctorate on meat quality in lambs that are finished on different types of pasture or on forage. I work primarily towards greenhouse gases from ruminants and at Tjøtta we have built up an approved animal testing department for sheep. We have the option of individual feeding of up to 24 animals. We have 6 respiratory chambers for measuring enteric methane production from sheep and 6 metabolism boxes for measuring feed utilization in sheep. Lastly, we have 9 castrated rams. Otherwise we get access to animals from Tjøtta farm.

Abstract
This year marked a milestone in the history of GGAA. With over 450 participants from around 50 countries, GGAA2025 reflected our community’s truly global reach. Since its first meeting, GGAA has continued to evolve and grow in scope and themes, reflecting advances in science and the changing realities of agriculture and climate. During the opening ceremony, we highlighted challenges and opportunities for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions from ruminant livestock in Latin America, Africa, and Asia. This year we presented nine themes addressed in eight keynote presentations and 17 breakout sessions across livestock, climate, and sustainability. We also succeeded in sponsoring more than 50 researchers, including many students from non-OECD countries, whose voices are essential for shaping the future of our field. GGAA2025 placed strong emphasis on scaling solutions and addressing regional priorities, such as carbon finance. With the presence of the World Bank and IFAD, alongside our partners and sponsors, we hosted side events that brought greater focus to specific issues vital to Africa and low- and middle-income countries from Asia and Latin America. The combination of cutting-edge research, regional dialogue, and global policy engagement ensured that GGAA2025 was a platform for academic exchange addressing directly realworld problems.
