Beef Farmers of Ontario (BFO) is pleased to share that Evan Chaffe has been selected as one of two individuals chosen to represent the North American region on the Global Agenda for Sustainable Livestock (GASL) Youth Advisory Group.

Evan’s knowledge and experience will serve as tremendous assets as he represents both the beef and broader North American livestock sector.

Evan is a recent graduate of the Advanced Agricultural Leadership Program (AALP), and is a past Ontario representative to the Canadian Cattle Youth Council.
