Nothing but wide open spaces in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta, also known as the Canadian Prairies. Vast land stretches as far as the eye can see. Agriculture dominates in this region, producing a plethora of livestock, grains, and pulses! While the grasslands are flat, the food scene is anything but! Prairie cuisine draws from the area’s cultural diversity and strong community spirit. From beef and pork to canola, root vegetables, wild berries, and beautiful beans, the Prairies are an underrated region with a vibrant food scene that is just waiting to be explored!
Alberta Beef Producers (ABP) is a grassroots producer organization representing the unified voice of over 18,000 cattle and beef producers in Alberta.
In Alberta, our passion for ranching and incredible beef runs deep. Pristine ranchlands backdropped by beautiful mountains combined with more than two centuries of expertise in raising cattle. From family ranches and farms, passed down through generations, to new, state-of-the-art feeding and breeding operations, our beef defines Alberta’s western heritage, setting the world standard for quality and animal care with a responsible, vibrant industry we can all be proud of.
Land used for beef cattle production in Canada stores about 1.5 billion tonnes of carbon.
Canola Eat Well inspires Canadians in their kitchens and grows the connection between farmers and consumers. We represent 43,000 canola farmers across the Canadian Prairies, funded in partnership with Alberta Canola, Sask Canola and Manitoba Canola Growers.
Canada produces high-quality canola and is one of the healthiest and most versatile cooking oils used in the world today. Canola oil is your local Canadian choice, grown in Canada by local Canadian farmers, whose commitment to quality and sustainable food production is second-to-none.
No matter the brand, when you find canola oil on the store shelf, you’re choosing Canadian canola.
Manitoba’s hog farmers have a passion for farming. Food security is important to everyone, and we work hard to supply a healthy and affordable protein that is sustainably and humanely produced. The ever increasing demand for wholesome, high-quality Manitoba pork has played a significant economic and social role in the province, creating jobs, building communities, and giving the less fortunate a hand up.
Manitoba’s hog sector contributes 14,000 jobs and 1.7 billion dollars annually to our local economy.
