Non Technical Summary
Animal production in the United States is at a pivotal stage. The importance of leveraging resources to increase our understanding of animal protein production sustainability is critical to meeting the food needs of the ever-increasing human population. To increase the efficiencies of animal protein production, it is essential to engage pertinent stakeholders (researchers from several disciplines, retailers, producers, animal commodity groups) within the food supply chain in sustainability discussions to evaluate resources, with a forward-looking vision. The goal of our work is to provide a pathway which ensures the growth of sustainable agricultural systems by fostering the development of a network of inter- and transdisciplinary scientists (biologists, sociologists, economists, engineers, etc.) and professionals, who embrace the multitude of perspectives offered, and thus who are better able to forecast potential future conditions and future agricultural outcomes in an environment that allows for vetting of competing perspectives and approaches. We will do this by building and strengthening collaborative research and extension efforts focused on improving the sustainability of animal production in Iowa. Specific focus areas are mitigation of livestock odor, biosecurity, animal waste management.

Goals / Objectives
Create issue-focused adaptive networks that transcend discipline and stakeholder boundaries, now and into the future Synthesizeÿ¬ data, analytical tools and communication mechanisms to evaluate and discuss animal protein supply chain sustainability metrics on various spatial and temporal scales Propose solutions, research and Extension directions to significantly contribute to sustainable animal protein systems and food security with forecasting of future trends
Project Methods
For Iowa, the approach to this next generation project (S1074) builds on successful approaches the terminating project (S1032) employed previously, with a drive to focus work around dynamic core issues. Individual team members will have variable levels of commitment to each of the core Issue Teams, and the specific objectives therein. We propose specific tasks that generate metrics for the objectives.Objective 1In Iowa, we will participate in adaptive networks in space and time by leveraging Iowa-based resources to contribute to issue-centered teams, and engage network participants through face-to-face and online work sessions.Task 1A. Participate in web-based work sessions, use multiple platforms providing the necessary functions of document sharing, large and small group conversations, and recording. Participation in virtual work sessions allows us to reduce the time and cost commitment for access to Issue Teams, expanding our transdisciplinary breadth and stakeholder involvement. Remote teaming will include opportunities for learning from Issue Team updates and an opportunity for introducing new concepts, analytical methods, and processes developed in Iowa. Web-based sessions will also include dedicated work time toward project objectives. Iowa project members will draw from numerous experiences and collaborations.Task 1B. Participate in face-to-face workshops that translate techniques and methods among Issue Teams and S1074 membersThe Iowa S1074 members look forward to annual meetings hosted by various members to actively engage, face-to-face, with colleagues from across the nation. This engagement is amplified when working collectively to learn or develop ideas. Annual meetings will continue to serve three purposes: (1) conduct annual meeting business; (2) conceptualize and/or refine the causal loop diagram for the core issues to be tackled; and (3) learn new techniques or methods (including Extension and outreach) that is transferable among all Issue Teams and S1074 members.Task 1C. Strengthen the next generation of thinkers to engage in animal protein sustainability discussions relevant to Iowa. Iowa project members support and mentor undergraduate and graduate research and Extension assistants at ISU on projects that serve this project's objectives. In addition, Iowa project member (Koziel) serves supportive role in the NSF-funded INFEWS project for engaging graduate students from different disciplines and institutions in cohort projects requiring transdisciplinary approaches to case studies for modeling and evaluating animal systems for their food, energy, and water implications (INFEWs-ER). Iowa project members will be individually responsible for engaging graduate students and participation in S1074 work.Objective 2We will synthesize data, analytical tools and communication mechanisms to evaluate animal system dynamics related to the core issues on various spatial and temporal scales by aligning CLD system nodes and metrics with sustainability metrics, sharing data in the open access arena, and moving from causality to mechanistic relationships.Task 2A. Align sustainability definitions and metricsIowa S1074 members will participate in collatingng and prioritizing the definitions and metrics used to evaluate sustainable systems according to parties within the animal protein supply chain.Task 2B. Iowa members will have an opportunity to contribute to the development of data dictionaries appropriate for sharing data in the open access arena, Data dictionaries, establish standard names, definitions, attributes, allowable values and potentially measurement methods (techniques, sensitivities, limitations).Task 2C. Move from Causality to MechanisticIowa members will have an opportunity to identify and engage underrepresented disciplines; identify and engage new analytic and synthetic expertise to improve vitality of the committee by sharing Iowa experience.Objective 3Using the adaptive networks formed through Objective 1, and the synthesis of data and tools in Objective 2, we can drive research directions to address gaps in knowledge of our existing systems, and potential solutions to respond to potential external perturbations in future animal production systems.Task 3A. Propose SolutionsIn Iowa, we anticipate testing and developing solutions for current and forecasted systems. These could involve solutions for environmental challenges on the nexus of food, energy and environment (e.g., mitigation of livestock odor, manure management). These projects will be tangential but supportive of the overall project goal, especially with respect to transdisciplinary projects and graduate/undergraduate student training as part of those projects.

Outputs
Target Audience:This project is designed around two-way communication and outreach between the project team and stakeholders. Active sharing of project information will be accomplished in the face-to-face and online meeting forums and shared online storage systems. Through the formation of adaptive networks, these forums serve to inform and learn from stakeholders. Task 1.4 engages the next generation of scientists and they too become partners in sharing project information to a wider audience. The collaboration with the commodity groups, the industry, and the INFEWs-ER project provides mechanisms to train the next generation of scientists in not only research but communication. Results of research findings were presented to researchers at various professional society meetings, published as papers in appropriate journals. Changes/Problems: Nothing Reported What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided? Two graduate students continued training and thesis research projects focused on the mitigation of odorous emissions from animal waste and mitigation of airborne viruses affecting the swine industry. Five undergraduate students authored and co-authored peer-reviewed journal papers, presented one research at the International Annual Meeting of the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers. One postdoctoral fellow continued training and contributed expertise on research projects focused on the mitigation of odorous emissions from animal waste. Koziel is one of the co-leaders of the Livestock and Local Communities cohort of 10 graduate students participating in the F20-S21 cohort of the NSF-funded INFEWS-ER project. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?22 peer-reviewed journal papers, 6 conference papers and presentations were published in this reporting period. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?Publish 20 peer-reviewed papers, 10 conference papers and presentations.

Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals? IMPACTS: A new screening tool was developed that can dramatically reduce the time to detect strains of bacteria that cause a serious livestock disease and that impact the health of millions of people worldwide. What follows is an excerpt from and Iowa State University news release. "Bovine tuberculosis is a zoonotic disease -- one capable of being transmitted from animals to humans. The disease is caused by infection with Mycobacterium bovis, a pathogen closely related to the one causing human tuberculosis. The new tool collects extremely low levels of volatile organic compounds emitted by the bacteria, making it possible to differentiate between disease-causing and non-disease-causing strains of Mycobacteria, said Jacek Koziel, professor of agricultural and biosystems engineering. The device can be used to collect and analyze samples within hours, much quicker than current methods that often take up to eight weeks. In addition to speeding up identification, the new testing platform is also portable and less expensive than tools typically used to test for bovine tuberculosis in the laboratory. Bovine tuberculosis causes coughing and lung damage, often leading to death. It primarily affects cattle and white-tailed deer in the United States and can be transmitted to humans who come in contact with infected animals and their meat or hides, or unpasteurized dairy products. Other mammals, including bison, elk and feral and domestic swine are susceptible. Human tuberculosis is generally linked to a different species of bacteria. However, about 30 percent of human cases worldwide - out of an estimated 9.6 million total new cases (in 2014) - are linked to bovine tuberculosis. These cases represent an estimated 200-300 human TB cases annually in the U.S. and millions in developing countries where the disease is more prevalent in cattle. Bovine tuberculosis often goes underreported and can spread widely. The course of the disease is slow, and a sick animal can infect others before symptoms start to show. Disease transmission can also occur during the long incubation time current testing procedures require to culture and identify the bacteria. "That's why the speed of the new lab-scale method is so valuable," said Koziel. "This is an important step towards an accurate, real-time screening device for these diseases." The new tool uses a biosecure, closed-loop circulating airflow system to collect the volatile organic compounds from growing bacteria in lab cultures. The collected samples are then analyzed using detailed statistics and other methods to identify the unique signature of gases different microbes emit over time. "This ability to detect the evolution of disease 'fingerprint' volatiles is something that current methods cannot provide," said Koziel. [End of excerpt] Additional accomplishments... Koziel-led team showed synergistic effects to biochar use could be achieved for the animal-crop production system. First, biochar can be used to mitigate gaseous emissions from manure, and then the biochar and manure mixture can be used as a better-quality fertilizer, improve the soil nutrients content, and minimize the nutrient losses from soil. Researchers led by Koziel continued to improve mitigation technologies for odor and gaseous emissions from swine and poultry operations. Koziel's team developed and tested UV light-based systems for the treatment of odorous emissions on lab and pilot-scales. Research continues to bring this technology to farm-scale. Koziel-lead (with Andersen, co-PI) completed testing the performance of 12 marketed pit manure additives for mitigation of odor emissions from stored swine manure. Koziel led the effort to valorize biowaste (manure, DDGS, brewer's spent grains) by torrefaction and the potential for 'waste-to-energy' and 'waste-to-carbon'.

In addition to speeding up identification, the new testing platform is also portable and less expensive than tools typically used to test for bovine tuberculosis in the laboratory. Other accomplishments: Koziel handled 22 manuscripts as an Associate Editor-in-Chief for AgriEngineering, an open-access journal (MDPI) and co-leads special issue "Quo Vadis Ag Engineering "in the same jounral. He leads special issue 'Livestock Odor and Air Quality' in Atmosphere, open-access MDPI journal, where he handled 3 manuscripts. Koziel was recognized for service to the profession in communicating science as a global Top Reviewer in two disciplines: (1) Environment and Ecology and (2) Cross-Field by Publons (Clarivate Analytics). The Top Reviewer awards have a global reach and recognize the top 1% of reviewers in major disciplines. Koziel completed the Fulbright Specialist assignment in Uzbekistan. His project was titled "Nexus of Water-Energy-Food in the Aral Sea Basin". Koziel trained ~100 university leaders, administrators, faculty and students on improving science communication, creating adaptive networks that transcend disciplines and stakeholder boundaries, improving research, teaching, and extension to contribute to sustainable food production systems and food security with forecasting of future trends. Researchers led by Koziel developed technologies for the detection of bovine tuberculosis, resulting in a Land-Grant Impact statement from Iowa State University. Koziel collaborated with researchers in Korea and evaluated an improved system for swine manure treatment that significantly reduces both ammonia and hydrogen sulfide emissions and improves air quality inside the barn. Research results were shared in open-access peer-reviewed journal. Researchers led by Koziel continued to improve mitigation technologies for odor and gaseous emissions from swine and poultry operations. Koziel's team developed and tested UV light-based systems for the treatment of odorous emissions on lab and pilot-scales. Research continues to bring this technology to farm-scale. Koziel leads the effort (with Andersen) to test the performance on marketed pit manure additives for mitigation of odor emissions from stored swine manure. Koziel led the effort to valorize biowaste by torrefaction and the potential for 'waste-to-energy' and 'waste-to-carbon'.
