NDSU Livestock & Environmental Stewardship

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.
