Forest conservation on agenda at Beef sustainability conference

02/09/2016
A special session dedicated to South American efforts to encourage zero-deforestation beef production will take place at The Global Conference on Sustainable Beef in Alberta, Canada (October 4-7).

It will include representatives from Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay who will report on the projects that are ongoing in these countries to address deforestation and promote zero-deforestation cattle production. 

There will also be representatives from meatpacking companies, retailers, and non-governmental organizations, who will present examples of coordinated supply chain support for zero-deforestation beef.

The Conference is hosted by the Global Roundtable for Sustainable Beef (GRSB) and the Canadian Roundtable for Sustainable Beef. 

In 2014, GRSB adopted a set of five core principles to define global sustainable beef including natural resources; people & the community; animal health & welfare; food; and efficiency & innovation. These principles will guide future efforts to advance sustainable practices globally in the production, processing, and merchandising of beef.
