“Beef Drive” Calls On Ranchers To Help Food Banks

Nov 10, 2016

The Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association is launching a Beef Drive to help out Saskatchewan’s food banks.

Members can help by contributing an animal, or by donating cash to defray the cost of processing.

“Saskatchewan’s ranchers are legendary for their willingness to help out a neighbour,” said SSGA President Shane Jahnke. “We hope this Beef Drive can help people put good nutritious food on the table.”

Hunger is a problem everywhere, but the recent downturn in the resource economy has increased the pressure on food banks in Saskatchewan. Fresh protein is difficult for food banks to collect through individual donations, so a bulk donation like this is a welcome gesture.

The meat will be processed into hamburger for distribution through food banks across Saskatchewan.

Video: World Without Cows - Official Trailer

In World Without Cows, journalists Michelle Michael and Brandon Whitworth take viewers on a global journey to explore the essential role of cattle in agriculture, food systems, and rural economies. Through interviews with farmers, ranchers, and environmental scientists, the documentary challenges the growing wave of misinformation surrounding cattle and climate change.

Prompted by the rise of unscientific narratives that paint livestock in a negative light, Michael and Whitworth set out to tell a more balanced story—one rooted in evidence and lived experience. The film highlights the cultural significance of cows, their contribution to global nutrition, and the innovations within the industry aimed at reducing environmental impact.

World Without Cows is a compelling reminder of the complexity and importance of livestock in a sustainable future.
