Weston Roundtable Series

Discussions of sustainability in any industry almost always include a nod to “economics.” But sometimes economic choices constitute the core of the sustainable story itself. The U.S. dairy industry has evolved over the past century in response to different biological and regional pressures. These forces shape our discussion of what is sustainable today. Mark Stephenson, Director of Dairy Policy Analysis at the UW–Madison, will discuss the evolution of this industry.
