The Manitoba Cattle Producers Association has created a recommended framework for introducing a province-wide Social and Ecological Goods and Services (E G & S) incentive program.

Our E G & S Proposal has been presented to all three levels of government, other associations and organizations and interested stakeholders. The Canadian Cattlemens Association has endorsed the program at a national level.

In response to our proposal, the provincial government created an E G & S Working Group. MCPA was instrumental in the planning and development of this group. Representatives from Manitoba Food, Agriculture and Rural Initiatives, Manitoba Conservation, the Nature Conservancy, Ducks Unlimited, and KAP participate, among others.

MCPA continues to promote our proposal and lobby for an Ecological Goods and Services incentive program.
