The Accelerating Livestock Innovations for Sustainability (ALIS) program was developed at Cornell University to expedite the development, approval, and adoption of safe and effective technologies that help farmers optimize their production system while protecting our environment. A priority of the ALIS program is to reduce emissions of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, from livestock agriculture. The initiative has spearheaded numerous investments in faculty, staff, facilities, and equipment, including an Animal Respiration Chamber facility, to support the organization and action of strategic teams that aim to solve long-standing challenges faced by livestock agriculture.
