António Mira da Fonseca was born in Aveiro, Portugal, in 1970. He graduated in Zootechny Engineering from the University of Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro, Vila Real, Portugal, in 1993, and obtained his doctoral degree from the same University, in 1998, for his work on Voluntary Intake and Energy Supplementation of Roughages in Sheep. He received the University Senate Award and the National Award in Engineering, in 1995, and the Eng. António de Almeida Award, in 1996. António is Full Professor of Animal Science at the Department of Veterinary Clinics of the Instituto de Ciências Biomédicas de Abel Salazar, University of Porto, Portugal, and a permanent member of the Associated Laboratory for Green Chemistry (LAQV), of the Network of Chemistry and Technology (REQUIMTE). His main research interest is dairy cow feeding and nutrition. However, in recent years, his research area has broadened to embrace a more holistic approach of Animal Nutrition, towards The Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda. Moreover, he maintains strong links with the industry, as well as with dairy farms. António Mira da Fonseca is a full member of the Ordem dos Engenheiros (Colégio de Engenharia Agronómica).
