Ducks Unlimited Supports Beef Industry Goals

Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) says it supports the Canadian Beef Advisors' recently announced 10-year goals that put the future of natural landscapes first.

 

The goals are based around greenhouse gases, land use and biodiversity, and animal care - key motivators for both the agriculture and conservation communities.

 

“Canadian beef farmers and ranchers are some of our greatest partners in conservation, and the CRSB’s (Canadian Roundtable for Sustainable Beef) commitment to preserve native grasslands and wetlands is one of the many reasons why we’re a proud and active member,” says DUC CEO, Karla Guyn. “The CRSB is continually working to create a stronger beef industry, leading to greater protection of some of Canada’s most at-risk habitats.”

 

DUC says the new goals demonstrate the commitment of the beef industry to climate change mitigation, sustainability, and biodiversity conservation. By encouraging a sustainable economy that values ecosystem services from grasslands, DUC hopes that these areas are maintained, and that marginal cropland is converted back to pasture or hayland.

 

“The environmental stewardship provided by beef farmers and ranchers is important to water, wildlife and all Canadians,” added Guyn.
