Dairy Farmers of Canada Launches Sustainability Initiative

0

OTTAWA — Dairy Farmers of Canada (DFC) has launched a farmers’ sustainability initiative, which features interconnected national standards on milk quality, food safety, animal care, traceability, biosecurity and environment.

The initiative, called proAction, is built on the industry’s existing strengths, as well as new standards based on research and practiced by farmer-innovators. ProAction will allow farmers to compare their farms to peers on a national basis, with the goal of fostering continuous improvement.

“We have long been sustainable in our farming practices and are very passionate about what we do,” says David Wiens, VP, DFC. “Our respect for resources, animals and the environment are the reasons the industry is sustainable today. We intend to move forward, building on our strengths, to be sustainable tomorrow.”

Members of the food industry and Canadian consumers can access reports on overall progress at dairyfarmers.ca/proAction.
