FCC incentivizes sustainability in Canadian dairy sector

Canada’s dairy farmers will be able to move closer toward their net-zero goals, thanks to a collaboration with Farm Credit Canada (FCC), Dairy Farmers of Canada (DFC) and Lactanet that incentivizes producers to make their operations more sustainable.

Canadian dairy producers who are FCC customers and meet sustainability requirements can access an incentive payment up to $2,000 through the FCC Sustainability Incentive Program starting this September.

“FCC is pleased to be growing its incentive program into the dairy sector with the support of Dairy Farmers of Canada,” said Justine Hendricks, FCC president and CEO. “It’s through partnerships like this that we are able to support and recognize producers who use beneficial management practices to enhance the sustainability of their operations.”

The collaboration announcement was made at the Dairy Farmers of Canada annual general meeting in Winnipeg.
