Listening to a great presentation from Dr Sylvain Charlebois on consumer behaviours in food retail, at @AgriFoodExpo. “Canadians are struggling, but we still only spend 10% of our household income on food. The 6th lowest country in the world.”

Best part of #CDNBeefconf is always catching up with friends and our favourite clients!

Dr Sarah Place shared some powerful stats this morning highlighting beef’s efficient environmental footprint, utilizing feed that isn’t edible for humans and providing a higher net protein contribution than mono-gastric livestock. #CDNBeefconf

Our newest short documentary film just dropped. It's called "Too Close To Home", the story of how cattle help mitigate wildfire risk near communities, through targeted grazing. Here's a sneak peek.

What happens when you take an urban foodie right to the ranch? Christina found out, on her farm tour with Cherie at CL Ranch west of Calgary. We had a blast capturing the highlights and fun of the day.

The Francis Family in PEI has been ranching for 7 generations! Soil and water conservation is a huge focus for this family because...well, they live on an island!

We loved touring Glen & Kelly's ranch and seeing first hand how supporting Canadian ranchers supports our shared watersheds. #MyCanadianBeef #SustainableFood #AlbertaEasternSlopes #OldManWatershed #instadrinkwater #instawater

@CamiDRyan @SusannaLHarris @AlanLevinovitz @JoeUscinski @BrianDunning I've been feeling exactly the same way. Thanks for this post. My only tip would be to take breaks. Months of forming your opinion/understanding (and theirs) is hard to share with each other in one conversation. Reaching a shared understanding can take a long time.

This is the Cheviot Coal Mine on the East boundary of Jasper National Park. It's now shut down.

Look at it. This is what will happen to Grassy Mountain & the Eastern Slopes. There is no going back... No amount of restoration will bring this area back to its former biodiversity.

What happens when upstream pollutants get into the water cycle? In the case of selenium, for example, it could lead to negative impacts for up to 2,000 years. #ableg
