Canadian Roundtable for Sustainable Beef honoured with Ducks Unlimited Canada's first-ever Conservation Award of Distinction

The Canadian Roundtable for Sustainable Beef (CRSB) is a global leader in sustainability. From farm to fork, this group continues to introduce new ideas, push boundaries and drive innovation to advance Canadian agriculture. As one of Ducks Unlimited Canada's (DUC) most trusted partners, the CRSB also goes above and beyond in its efforts to support habitat conservation. In recognition of the CRSB's many contributions to land stewardship, it was named the deserving recipient of DUC's first-ever Conservation Award of Distinction.

The Conservation Award of Distinction celebrates outstanding leadership and supporting conservation actions that have resulted in significant, positive environmental impacts across the country. DUC presented the award to the CRSB at the Canadian Cattle Association's annual general meeting in Ottawa last week.  

"Canadian beef producers form one of the largest groups of conservationists on the landscape," says Kristine Tapley, DUC's national lead for sustainable agriculture. "Because of the actions of these land stewards, we are protecting grasslands, storing carbon, filtering our water and enhancing biodiversity in some of the most important areas of the country. We are proud to honour them and the extraordinary work of the CRSB through this award."
