People in the animal agriculture industry are always looking for better ways to raise a reliable supply of healthy livestock for food and other products. Consumers are concerned with having a good selection of wholesome food at affordable prices. Both share a common goal, wanting all food to be produced responsibly and with respect for all living things. But as the world population has grown, the planet's arable land base has decreased. Not at all.
Animal agriculture is a living business.
Because their livelihood depends on how well animals prosper, producers today spend a considerable amount of time thoughtfully housing, feeding, handling and treating their herds and flocks. Groups such as the Foundation for Animal Care Saskatchewan work to promote the responsible use of animals to meet our needs for wholesome food. Likewise, Canadians are becoming better informed about agriculture issues.
