Stackhouse-Lawson, also the director of Colorado State’s AgNext food and ag sustainability research collaborative, joins MeatingPod to discuss the complexities of advancing sustainability in the beef supply chain, the challenge of working with incomplete data, and the politics enveloping the entire concept.
