"This report is the culmination of nine years of experience and intensive activity. We have strived to identify gaps and present options for land use and stewardship in Alberta," said EPIP Chair Kenton Ziegler. "The Agriculture and Food Council is proud of the contributions of all who have been involved throughout the years in important, visionary and timely initiatives that have led to better policy decisions. Due to limited resources, Council will be concluding its Environmental Policy Initiative.”
The report, Agri-Environmental Perspectives: Land Use and Stewardship Policy in Alberta’s Agri-Food, aims to offer observations on priorities and gaps for consideration by industry and government. The full report is available at www.agfoodcouncil.com. The Council is a unique agent with a vision for Alberta’s agriculture and food industry to be globally competitive, profitable and sustainable. To help realize this vision, the Council has developed partnerships with industry and governments. It operates a number of targeted programs and initiatives, and is increasingly recognized by industry stakeholders as a catalyst for policy discussions on important issues affecting the industry. EPIP is funded jointly by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s Canadian Adaptation Programming and Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development.
