FCC supports beef sustainability program
MELFORT, Sask. — Farm Credit Canada (FCC) is providing an incentive to attract and recognize Canadian beef producers certified for standards set by the Canadian Roundtable for Sustainable Beef (CRSB).
The FCC Sustainability Incentive Program will provide a payment to FCC customers who are CRSB Certified through Verified Beef Production Plus, Where Food Comes From Canada, and the Ontario Corn Fed Beef Quality Assurance Program.
Vice-president of Marketing Todd Klink said FCC is pleased to work with the CRSB to recognize FCC customers who have already achieved their certification and to encourage additional producers to become certified.
“Canadian producers are already expert stewards of the land and livestock, and the beef sector has been a leader in demonstrating their sustainable practices through the CRSB,” Klink said. “FCC already has lending solutions to support our customers’ sustainable practices. Launching this program with the CRSB is another way to support the industry on its sustainability journey.”
