Spotlight on Derek Lowstuter
CSU Extension Specialist
Mountain Region
Agriculture & Food
Expanding Rural Engagement
Derek is one of the newly hired specialists for the CSU Extension “Expanding Rural Engagement” (ERE) initiative focusing on how to foster thriving communities and support food and agriculture production in Colorado’s mountain region, which includes 13 counties stretching from Jackson County in the north to Custer County in the south. Derek is excited to be back in Colorado where his interests in food, natural resource management, and human well-being first developed. He looks forward to helping agricultural producers (and consumers!) in the mountain region access the information they need to be most successful.
Lowstuter earned his M.S. in Forest Sciences from Colorado State University.
