Alberta is a province brimming with agricultural richness and diversity.  Agriculture is an industry driven by passion, dedication and hard work.  Youth is a finite resource that will, in turn, be the future of our world.  Alberta Young Farmers and Ranchers (AYFR), is a group that aims to bring like-minded people together and provides support and education to the young people within the province who wish to ensure a strong future for our agricultural industry.

As new regulations and controversies swirl around the issue of long-distance livestock transport, nutritional therapy is emerging as a top solution to protect animal welfare as well as the image and profitability of livestock industries.

What forces are shaping the future of farm animal care? How can producers keep profitable and sustainable while meeting new expectations? What are the ideas and opportunities ‘pushing the envelope’ to help Alberta’s livestock industries on the path of continual improvement?

Farms across the province will be bustling with visitors eager to get a first hand look at where their food comes from and rural lifestyle.

Farm and Food Care Canada has launched the Canadian Center for Food Integrity (CCFI) aimed at providing information Canadians receive about our food and farming.
