Melissa Downing is the new provincial co-ordinator for the Verified Beef Production Plus program. Downing is an agrologist, and she and her husband raise cattle near Metiskow in east-central Alberta.
This is a pivotal time in the beef industry and VBP+ “has the potential to establish Canada as a leader in sustainable verification and result in increased demand for our beef,” she said.
The newly launched VBP+ goes beyond on-farm food safety by including modules on environmental stewardship, biosecurity, and animal care.
