U of G, University of the Philippines Los Baños Partner to Share Agricultural Knowledge

The world’s top agricultural institutions are partnering to address global challenges in food security, climate resilience and sustainable development.

The University of Guelph and the University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB) have signed a renewed memorandum of understanding (MOU), strengthening a relationship that opens doors to student collaborations, new postgraduate programs and scholarships, joint research networks and innovative knowledge-sharing between Canada and the Philippines.

Renowned for its reputation in agriculture, environmental studies and life sciences, UPLB is a natural partner for U of G and its Ontario Agricultural College (OAC), with its 150-year legacy in agri-food research and innovation.

The MOU was signed by UPLB and a U of G delegation sent to the Philippines, co-led by Dr. Ben Bradshaw, assistant vice-president (graduate studies), and Dr. Helen Hambly, professor of rural development in OAC.

For over two decades, Dr. Mitloehner has been at the forefront of research on how animal agriculture affects our air and our climate. With deep expertise in emissions and volatile organic compounds, his work initially focused on air quality in regions like California’s Central Valley—home to both the nation’s richest agricultural output and some of its poorest air quality.

In recent years, methane has taken center stage in climate discourse—not just scientifically, but politically. Once a topic reserved for technical discussions about manure management and feed efficiency, it has become a flashpoint in debates over sustainability, regulation, and even the legitimacy of livestock farming itself.
