“By participating in the survey, Albertans ensure that their opinions are considered when the final report is written and presented to government for action,” said Kenton Ziegler, Chair of Council’s Environmental Policy Initiative Project (EPIP). “I hope that Albertans will take advantage of this opportunity to provide their input before the survey closes.”
The survey was designed to poll agricultural producers and land users who were unable to attend one of the seven public consultation meetings conducted around the province over the last two months.
The consultations and survey will help EPIP gauge public opinion on ideas contained in the reports published by the Council’s former Ag Summit and Agrivantage Strategic Initiatives (AgSASI) committee: Recognizing and Supporting Environmental Stewardship within the Agri-Food Industry, and Land Use Policy and the Agri-Food Industry in Alberta. These reports are available at /initiatives/epip.aspx.
The Council is a leader in Alberta’s agriculture and food industry. It is a unique agri-food industry agent with a vision for Alberta’s agriculture, food and life sciences industry to be globally competitive, profitable and sustainable. To help realize this vision, the Council has developed various partnerships with industry and governments. It operates a number of targeted programs and initiatives, and is increasingly viewed by industry partners as a catalyst for policy discussions on important issues and trends affecting the industry.
EPIP is funded in partnership by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s Canadian Adaptation and Rural Development (CARD) fund and Alberta Agriculture and Food.
