#DYK cattle play an important role in reducing food waste by consuming crops and crop by-products that can’t be used as human food? Only 9% of annual cropland is used for growing cattle feed in Canada. In fact, much of the crops fed to cattle come from foods that were intended for human use but were not deemed suitable.

In Canada, cattle are typically raised on marginal lands and soils that can't be used to grow other crops. 70% of Canada's native grasslands have been cultivated or developed, with only 30% left. As cattle are the main users of these grasslands they are helping to preserve these fragile natural ecosystems by enhancing soil carbon storage, biodiversity, wildlife habitat and migration, water filtration, and nutrient recycling.
