He was the forage extension specialist at Oregon State University from 1986 to 1992. He currently works in the forage seed industry. Peter’s personal experience has led him to re-examine human diet and health. What he has learned doesn’t agree with the advice given for the past several decades. Peter is an advocate for ruminant animal agriculture and the essential role of animal source foods in the human diet. He strives to build bridges between producers, consumers, and researchers across a wide variety of scientific disciplines – increasing awareness of metabolic health and ruminant animal agriculture’s essential role in social, economic and ecological sustainability. Peter has spoken at many different events in the US and internationally. Many of his presentations are available on YouTube. Peter and Nancy live in western Oregon with their two dogs, Conor and Noni. Testimonials “Peter Ballerstedt is extremely knowledgeable about forage/livestock production, seed production and marketing, and human nutrition. He has a special talent for connecting with audiences of all types, which is why I have recommended him to conference/meeting planners on numerous occasions. In particular, a talk he regularly gives pertaining to meat in human diets is, in my opinion, so important and informative that virtually every American could benefit from hearing it.” Don Ball, Professor Emeritus, Auburn University - “… presentations are scientifically accurate, factually based and enthusiastically delivered. Presentations are effective, efficient, informative, prepared for each specific audience, ranging from forage management for farmers in Kentucky to an international group of scientific peers.” “… is a dynamic, effective, informative and entertaining speaker. Presentations are always scientifically accurate, factually based and enthusiastically delivered.” “… From basic forage management to cutting edge “Red Meat and Health” presentations are always well received as witnessed by the many repeat invitations” Garry Lacefield, Professor Emeritus, University of Kentucky - “As a forage agronomist with a deep understanding of the history and politics of nutrition in America, Peter Ballerstedt navigates the intricate and interconnected systems of how our food--and our knowledge about food--is produced in a lively and thought-provoking style. He provides a unique perspective on some of the wicked problems in our food system and explores the complexity of issues such as chronic disease and sustainability with clarity, wit, and wisdom.” Adele Hite , PhD MPH RD - critical nutrition studies scholar and blogger - “A friend and colleague for 20+ years in our common educational training area of forage-livestock systems, but his talks on nutritional myths changed my life; by restricting carbohydrates, I lost 30 pounds and normalized my blood pressure, no longer needing medication. You need to become informed, and Peter makes it interesting and entertaining!” David B.
