Through presentations and discussions, ranchers and non-ranchers will better understand the global ranching industry and its relationship to sustainable and healthy rangeland conservation. With the world population officially hitting 7 billion people earlier this year and projected to reach 9.5 billion by 2050 farmers and ranchers must continue to find ways to sustainably feed a growing world population using fewer natural resources. Concurrently, thousands of rangeland acres are annually removed from food production and active management. In order to provide food with responsible conservation activities, rangeland owners, stewards and other decision makers and advisors will need to be increasingly efficient and flexible, utilize the best of science and technology, information and human resources, and recognize their dual role of conservation and production of food and other services.
