Panel // Water Stewardship in Livestock: Deploying Precision Technologies and Circular Systems to Cut Costs and Build Resilience

09 Apr 2026
Auditorium
Main Stage
  • How are livestock producers redefining water stewardship in response to extreme weather and resource scarcity? How have droughts impacted farmers in the US and globally?
  • How can farms design for drought resilience, and which interventions, such as smart meters, leak detection, precision drinkers, recycling, or anaerobic digestion integration offer the best ROI? What new tech platforms aid water management?
  • How do resilient practices like rotational grazing enhance water retention, carbon sequestration, and aquifer recharge? How can ranchers monetize water-smart practices through ecosystem service payments?
  • What is required for safe recycled process water, including regulatory, pathogen and community considerations?
