Webinar - Behind The Label: Unpacking Sustainable Beef, Crops, And The ESG Lens
What do sustainable food labels tell us about the practices behind our food production? Are these labels fostering environmentally conscious decisions or simply adding costs to consumers and producers? Join our panel discussion as we explore sustainable beef and crop production, examining the certification processes, public perceptions, and the challenges of labelling standards. Our experts will also provide insights through an ESG lens, discussing how sustainability frameworks shape industry practices and influence consumer behaviour. We’ll explore how these frameworks guide corporate strategies, shape policies, and drive long-term market competitiveness. This webinar aims to demystify food labelling and empower consumers to make informed choices in today’s evolving food system.
This is your chance to explore the science behind sustainable beef and crop production and understand how certification processes, resource management, and sustainability frameworks shape the food on your plate.

The School of Public Policy and the Simpson Centre for Food and Agricultural Policy are pleased to host the Simpson Centre Public Education Series, sponsored by UFA Co-Operative Ltd.
The Simpson Centre mobilizes research for better policymaking and decision-making to realize a more sustainable agricultural industry. Strengthening the sustainability of agri-food and agribusiness means increasing food production to feed a growing global population, while attending to social and health impacts and the natural environment. We connect researchers, everyday people, industry stakeholders and government actors to scientific issues critical to the future of Canada’s agricultural and food system.
