The Environmental Stewardship Award – Quebec Section
Prix Innoveau
2027 edition
There are recognition awards in cattle production: The Environmental Stewardship Award (TESA) – Quebec Section for the beef sector, and the Prix INNOVEAU for the veal sector.
Additional Rewards
PBQ is proud to announce that the winning farms of these two awards will receive $1,000 in financial support for agro-environmental consulting services. These awards come with a $1,000 grant in the form of financial assistance for sustainability consulting services (economic, environmental, or social). For example: a farm succession plan, participation in a group analysis, a bird survey on the farm, implementation of measures from the Plan d’action en agroenvironnement, development of a human resources management plan, an animal welfare assessment, or the development of a biosecurity protocol.
Through this initiative, PBQ aims to encourage producers to continue their outstanding work and to recognize their commitment to sustainability.
