Texas A&M Beef Sustainability Summit set for Dec. 8-9 in Dallas | Farm And Ranch

Voices from multiple segments of the beef supply chain will be heard at the second annual Texas A&M Beef Sustainability Summit on Dec. 8-9 at the Texas A&M AgriLife Research and Extension Center at Dallas, 17360 Coit Road.

The term “beef sustainability” is often misunderstood, said event organizer Jacquelyn Prestegaard-Wilson, Ph.D., Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service livestock sustainability specialist and assistant professor in the Texas A&M Department of Animal Science.
