The state-of-the-art facility will enrich CSU’s teaching and research in meat sciences, as well as offer a space for industry collaboration through continuing education and training, equipment development and testing.
JBS USA, Greeley, Colo., invested $12.5 million in building the JBS Global Food Innovation Center in Honor of Gary & Kay Smith atthe Colorado State University (CSU), Fort Collins, Colo. The new $20 million facility will advance best practices in food safety, meat sciences and animal handling and welfare.
The state-of-the-art facility will enrich CSU’s teaching and research in meat sciences, as well as offer a space for industry collaboration through continuing education and training, equipment development and testing and a place to engage in dialogue to advance the animal agriculture industry. Students will learn about meat processing in a hands-on environment that is not currently available in existing CSU facilities.
