Abundant Land and Fresh Water Taking Care ofBusiness Canadian Food Inspection Agency Environmental Standards for Sustainable Production Climatic Barriers to Animal Diseases National Code of Practice for Animal Care and Handling Our Commitment to the Environment and Animal Care Cattle production has been an essential part of the Canadian agricultural tradition for more than 300 years. We recognize that our future depends on ensuring sustainable production by taking care of the land and treating animals responsibly. In Canada, provincial and federal laws protect the natural environment and support the safety and wholesomeness of our beef. Through a collaborative effort which included Canadian cattle producers, veterinarians, regulators, and animal welfare advocates our industry has developed a national Code of Practice for care and handling of beef cattle. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency also monitors and enforces the federal standards for humane transport, handling and slaughter. We take our commitment to sustaining the natural environment of Canada and to animal care seriously, not only because its important to our customers, but also because it’s the right thing to do.
