Global Roundtable for Sustainable Beef

For today's radio show we'll be talking to their Ex-Director live at 1p, ET, on WRNP 1320, our full time radio network on the business side of green, and WARA our flagship station.Think about the implications of "a world in which all aspects of the beef value chain are environmentally sound, socially responsible and economically viable".

Our food supply, right now, is burdened by too few local providers, heavy dependence on chemicals for large-scale production and far too many miles the average meal travels to our tables.  Organizations like the Global Roundtable for Sustainable Beef will change the supply chain.  It will help us make better consumer choices.  It will bring together diverse parts of the supply chain to find common ground for improvements.

You can help bring sustainable changes to the world by listening to this show and supporting environmental improvements for the beef industry and the food suppliers in general. 

The Global Roundtable for Sustainable Beef (GRSB) is a global, multi-stakeholder initiative developed to advance continuous improvement in sustainability of the global beef value chain through leadership, science and multi-stakeholder engagement and collaboration.  The GRSB envisions a world in which all aspects of the beef value chain are environmentally sound, socially responsible and economically viable.

GRSB is the strategic platform where leading organizations from within the beef industry, environmental branch, retailers and others with a close interest in the industry partner to advance continuous improvement in sustainability of the global beef value chain through sharing their knowledge of leadership, science and through multi-stakeholder engagement and collaboration.

The GRSB aims to facilitate a global 

dialogue to advance continuous improvement 

in the sustainability of the global beef value 

chain by:

• identifying, evaluating and enabling 

increased adoption of current leading 

production and supply chain practices, policy 

and technology;

• supporting action-oriented, regional and 

local multi-stakeholder initiatives focused on

producing measurable outcomes, ensuring 

local adaptation;

• addressing high-priority issues related to sustainability by sharing locally relevant and

science-based information and support pilot 

projects to demonstrate those;

• providing a forum and opportunities for 

constructive engagement, information 

exchange and technical problem solving.

• GRSB is the only global forum dedicated to

connecting a network of local, regional and 

global leaders in the beef industry with

a common vision and mission and gives 

stakeholders an equal opportunity through

member ownership of the roundtable; and

• promoting the adoption of leading 

employment and economic development 

practices.
