Welcome to Livestock & Environmental Stewardship

What is Livestock & Environmental Stewardship?

Founded in 2013, The NDSU Livestock & Environmental Stewardship program focuses on research and education to broaden the knowledge of livestock producers, industry, and the general public on livestock management, livestock and environmental interactions, the sustainability, and producing animal products for a world with a rapidly growing population and finite resources.

Stewardship is defined as the responsible and careful management of something entrusted to one’s care. As livestock producers and land managers it is our responsibility to manage livestock, land, and natural resources in a sustainable manner that ensures the resources and lifestyle are preserved for future generations.

Mission

The mission of the NDSU Livestock & Environmental Stewardship team is to conduct research and develop educational materials in livestock and environmental stewardship to meet the evolving needs of North Dakota livestock producers.
