Summit Overview
On November 19th, Colorado State University’s Institute for Livestock and the Environment (ILE) will host their second annual Stakeholder Summit, a forum for disseminating information about research conducted by ILE faculty members, and for exchanging ideas with stakeholders from both livestock and environmental groups.
This year’s conference theme, “working together to solve environmental problems,” reflects the core mission and purpose of the Institute — solving real-world environmental problems facing the livestock industry and communities in the Great Plains and Intermountain West.
