E-commerce and exporting webinar

Mar 17, 2021

This webinar focuses on the logistics, customs and regulatory aspects of e-commerce.

‘With the COVID-19 pandemic accelerating the shift in online shopping, e-commerce offers tremendous opportunities for Alberta industry,' says Evan Buie, international initiatives officer with Alberta Agriculture and Forestry.

‘We hosted a webinar in February to provide information to companies who wanted to learn more about e-commerce. If you missed the live webinar, you can now access the recording online.’

This webinar covered topics such as the basic documentation requirements of exporting overseas, packaging and labelling, handling returns, as well as marketplaces, fulfillment centres and third-party logistics.

‘I have been in the agriculture industry for many years and have sold products all over the world, yet I still managed to learn something new watching Evan’s webinar,’ says Pat McCarthy, owner of Beef Canada and Bison Canada.

‘With everything shifting to the virtual world, it’s more important than ever to have a good understanding of e-commerce and how to get your products to market or you simply won’t survive.’

Video: Evolution of Beef Cattle Farming

The Clear Conversations podcast took to the road for a special episode recorded in Nashville during CattleCon, bringing listeners straight into the heart of the cattle industry. Host Tracy Sellers welcomed rancher Steve Wooten of Beatty Canyon Ranch in Colorado for a wide-ranging discussion that blended family history and sustainability, particularly as it relates to the future of beef production.

Sustainability emerged as a central theme of the conversation, a word that Wooten acknowledges can mean very different things depending on who you ask. For him, sustainability starts with the soil. Healthy soil produces healthy grass, which supports efficient cattle capable of producing year after year with minimal external inputs. It’s an approach that equally considers vegetation, animal efficiency, and long-term profitability.

That philosophy aligned naturally with Wooten’s involvement in the U.S. Roundtable for Sustainable Beef, where he served as a representative for the Colorado Cattlemen’s Association. The roundtable brings together the entire beef supply chain—from producers to retailers—along with universities, NGOs, and allied industries. Its goal is not regulation, Wooten emphasized, but collaboration, shared learning, and continuous improvement.
