The American Meat Science Association (AMSA) teamed up with St. Paul Public Schools in a compassionate endeavor, distributing more than 700 high-protein snack bags to young students facing food scarcity. This initiative coincided with the AMSA 76th Reciprocal Meat Conference (RMC), which highlighted the pivotal role of meat in combating food insecurity within the United States. This thoughtful act allowed AMSA RMC attendees to give back to the local St. Paul youth, aligning with the conference's overarching theme of knowledge, innovation, and community.
Comprising a membership of more than 2,500 meat scientists and students from research institutions, meat processors, and meat supply companies both domestically and internationally, AMSA's membership is impactful. The cornerstone of its annual calendar is the RMC, an interactive scientific gathering covering the latest research and hot topics surrounding the production and distribution of animal protein products. Attended by a diverse group of students, professionals, and technical experts from academia, industry, government, and other sectors, the conference serves as the center for knowledge exchange and innovation.
