How it works
The Farm Animal Welfare Speakers Bureau program provided funds to bring in speakers to discuss farm animal welfare issues and research at national or provincial gatherings.
Goals
- The Canadian agriculture industry is working to advance responsible animal care and proper handing practices in agriculture today and to avoid problems before they can arise.
- The Speakers Bureau was intended to:
- Encourage dialogue about farm animal welfare research and issues with stakeholders, including producers, processors, retailers, and consumers.
- Communicate the results of animal welfare research in Canada throughout the supply chain.
- Provide hands-on learning and training experiences to improve farm animal handling and care.
Program Specifics
- The Speakers Bureau was part of a 3-year Putting farm animal welfare on the agenda in Canada program
- It is a joint effort of farm animal care organizations across Canada
- It is funded in part by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada's Advancing Canadian Agriculture and Agri-Food Program
