There’s a new program at Colorado State University aimed at improving the state’s livestock industry and sustaining rural communities.
The Institute for Livestock and the Environment, under the direction of Jessica Davis, who is a professor of soil science and a CSU Extension specialist, combines representatives from different disciplines on campus whose goal is to balance issues of economic growth in the livestock industry with the environment, which is key to achieving sustainable communities.
Katherine Sánchez Meador is the research coordinator for the institute. She came to CSU from northern Arizona, where she was a rangeland specialist with the U.S. Forest Service working with local ranchers who leased federal land. She is a native of New Mexico and grew up on a ranch in south-central New Mexico.
