On July 10, Alberta Agriculture and Irrigation, and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, announced $1.9M in funding for the Building resiliency for Alberta beef farms program, which will support Alberta’s 19,000 ranches to secure and sustain VBP+ sustainable production certification.
Alberta release Federal release
From the release:
Through the new incentive program, farmers and ranchers will have access to a maximum of $5,000 for approved expenses that help them bring their operation into alignment with VBP+ certification guidelines. Examples of approved activities include audit fees, livestock handling equipment and herd management software. An operation that completes the VBP+ training but has not achieved certification yet can access up to $2,500 for the same approved expenses.
Four years ago, the first person outside the Flokk team to see a hand-built prototype of Flokk was Melissa Downing, who was Alberta VBP+ coordinator at that time.
Flokk engaged with, and learned from, VBP from very early in our journey because we knew making it easier for ranchers to deliver VBP+ calves, and realize the returns from certified production, was fundamental to our value proposition.
Flokk was instrumental in initiation of this initiative. As the sole livestock herd sustainability, traceability, and management solution provider holding membership in Canadian Roundtable for Sustainable Beef (CRSB), Flokk is uniquely positioned to be the preferred herd management solution for producers receiving this benefit.
