The only place to hear about the meat industry.

To continue with these dialogues during the 75th RMC, Erin Borror, Vice President of Economic Analysis for the US Meat Export Federation, talks about the current challenges the global meat markets are facing and how it is impacting meat pricing. As Economist, Erin is responsible for USMEF’s red meat export forecasts, trade policy related analysis, global market analysis for U.S. exporters, and U.S. market analysis for international customers.

Today we speak with Dr. Mindy Brashears, a professor and Director of the International Center for Food Industry Excellence at Texas Tech University.   Dr. Bass talks to Dr. Brashears about her humanitarian work over the continent, and how all his experience, has led her to the place in which she is today.   Her work has resulted in the commercialization of pre-harvest feed additives that reduce E. coli and Salmonella in cattle. She also leads international research teams to Mexico Belize and Argentina to improve food safety and security in those sectors and to set up sustainable agriculture systems in impoverished areas.

Today we sat down with Collette Kaster, CEO of the American Meat Science Association, to talk about this year's RMC. Together with Kaster, we discussed the purpose of the RMC, which is not only a symposium but also a networking opportunity for our industry partners.

Drs. Francisco Najar and Phil Bass traveled to the old continent to meet meat industry leaders in Germany and Spain. Today they discuss what they learned about new technologies and innovations presented at IFFA, Public University of Navarra and Viscofan.

Today, we continue our conversations at the IFFA show in Frankfurt, Germany. We share our German table with Brad McLeod and Desmond Johnston, two meat science enthusiasts from Canada. They discuss butcher skills and education, meat technology, and communication channels within the global meat industry. McLeod discusses the pitfalls of new technologies and innovations in the meat industry, while Desmond Johnston talks about his contributions to the meat industry community in Canada.
