17 April 2024 Join us for the next Excellence Series presented by Professor Pablo Gregorini - You are what you eat eats!

Over the past 25 years, Pablo has been working on nutrition, foraging ecology and grazing management of domesticated and wild ruminants in different grasslands and rangelands.

His work has remained close to a broader and modern view of agricultural systems, leading him to delve into issues related to the worldwide sustainability of agricultural systems, and exploring how phytochemistry and culture link the palates of humans and herbivores with soil, plants, and landscapes.

Animal products reflect the history of our landscapes, foodscapes and agricultural systems manifested through soil and plant chemistry, and thereby our health and that of the planet.

Join us as we hear from Professor Pablo Gregorini who will share his research insights into what progress his International LU Pastoral Livestock Production Lab and the Centre of Excellence he heads -Designing Future Productive Landscapes-have been making, where it may lead to, and some of the challenges that lie ahead.

More on Professor Pablo Gregorini

Pablo joined Lincoln University (New Zealand) as a Professor of Livestock Production in 2017. His primary focus lies in the nutritional and behavioural management of grazing ruminants, emphasising environmental protection, animal welfare, human health and production systems design. In April 2023, Pablo added Agricultural Systems to his professorship. He now holds the Lincoln University Professorship of Livestock Production and Agricultural System, is head of the Lincoln University Centre of Excellence “Designing Future Productive Landscapes” and directs the Lincoln University Pastoral Livestock Production Lab.

Pablo has authored over 200 peer-reviewed scientific journal articles, five international book chapters, edited three Special Issues in Nutritional Ecology of Foraging and Grazing Management and written more than 400 conference papers/abstracts/tech notes for international professional meetings. He has presented his work at more than 200 professional, research meetings, and academic institutions.

Pablo is Associate Editor of the journals ‘Animal Production Science’ (CSIRO Publishing, Australia) and ‘Grassland Science’ (Wiley-Blackwell, Publishing, Japan) and serves as a member of the editorial board for Journal of Animal Science, Applied Animal Science Journal (American Association of Animal Science), Frontiers for Sustainable Food Systems and Nature (Sustainable Agriculture).

Pablo is a member of the Forum of the Pastoralist Knowledge Hub (FAO), Livestock, Environment and Development, (LEAD-FAO), Gamma Sigma Delta Honor Society of Agriculture (USA), Knowledge Sharing Network for Animal Nutritionists (FAO), American Society of Animal Science (ASAS) and American Registry of Professional Animal Scientists (ARPAS), as well as the American Forage and Grassland Council (AFGC). He is also a a board member of and one of the original founders of the International Scientific Committee for Animal Source Foods and Livestock: Ethics, Planet and Human health ALEPH. He has also been a member of numerous scientific committees, e.g., the International Symposium of Ruminant Physiology, the International Symposium of Nutrition of Herbivores and the International Grazing Behavior Workshop. In 2018, Pablo was elected as the Chair of the International Scientific Advisory Groups for the International Symposium of Nutrition of Herbivores. He is also a member of the International Scientific Committee on Farm Systems Design.

In addition to his research in New Zealand, Pablo is currently working on nutrition, foraging ecology and grazing management of domesticated and wild ruminants in different grasslands and rangelands of the world.  Finally, Pablo keeps close to a broader view of agricultural systems, which got him working on issues related to the sustainability of agricultural systems around the world exploring how phytochemistry and culture once linked the palates of humans and herbivores with soil, plants, and landscapes.
