About
I explore how system structure, field/animal-scale management practices, and public policy impact sustainability outcomes for food systems.
Details
Dr. Jasmine Dillon is an Assistant Professor in the Colorado State University Department of Soil & Crop Sciences. She uses life cycle assessment and dynamic systems modeling to investigate aspects of environmental, social, and economic sustainability outcomes from food systems. Her work is frequently collaborative and interdisciplinary, and spans topics such as dynamic modeling of livestock system responses to public policy, evaluating the role of soil carbon sequestration inclusion on global warming potential of livestock production, environmental and nutritional assessment of diets, and development of a framework for conducting social LCA of beef production systems. In addition to research, Dr. Dillon teaches courses in life cycle assessment and sustainable livestock production, and is co-developing regenerative agriculture curriculum at CSU. Prior to CSU, Dr. Dillon earned a B.S. and M.S. from Texas A&M University and a Ph.D. from Pennsylvania State University.
