Controlled Burn Ignites New Connections For Kansas Beef

The Kansas Beef Council (KBC) recently participated in Controlled Burn, a first-of-its-kind live-fire cooking fundraiser benefiting BoysGrow, a Kansas City nonprofit that mentors urban youth through agriculture, entrepreneurship and culinary training. The event brought together top Kansas City chefs, community members and BoysGrow participants for an immersive evening centered on food, fire and purpose.

Through its sponsorship, KBC worked to connect beef to Kansas City’s vibrant food scene while highlighting the people, passion and values behind the state’s beef industry. The event served as a platform to build relationships with chefs and community leaders, and also inspired the next generation of culinary professionals to learn more about where and how their food is produced.

Video: Research in Action | Swine Cluster 4 - Activity 8: Precision Feeding with Dr. Aline Remus


Research in Action is a video series from Swine Innovation Porc that highlights the people and projects driving innovation in Canada's pork sector.

In this episode, Dr. Aline Remus (Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada) explains how precision feeding is helping producers improve efficiency, reduce feed costs and lower environmental impacts while supporting animal health and welfare.

As part of Swine Cluster 4 - Activity 8, this research is advancing precision livestock farming by tailoring nutrition to the needs of individual pigs or groups of pigs. The project aims to reduce feed costs, decrease greenhouse gas emissions and nutrient losses, and develop practical precision feeding systems that producers can confidently adopt on-farm.

By bringing together researchers from across Canada and around the world, this work is helping transform innovative research into practical solutions for a more sustainable and competitive Canadian pork sector.
