We thank you for your interest in Dessert with Discussion. We know that the planned topic was an engaging one that many of you were looking forward to learning more about. We will do our best to reschedule the event for a future date. 

What to expect

Dessert with Discussion is a free lecture series that connects the KBS and MSU research community with our local community.

Jason Rowntree

The spring 2023 speaker is Dr. Jason Rowntree, an associate professor in the Department of Animal Science in Michigan State University’s College of Agriculture and Natural Resources and a C.S. Mott Professor of Sustainable Agriculture.

His talk is titled, “Good Food That is Better for the Environment.”

Beef production is often cited as a driver of climate change but, as Dr. Rowntree will discuss, it can operate in tandem with nature.
