Steps to Starting up a Community Garden. Red Deer Food Bank. RD Chamber - Local Food Policy. Issue: The “Local Food” movement is gaining momentum across Canada, and, when balanced with a focus on investing in high-tech agri-business and a strong Ag export market, it represents a significant opportunity for Alberta. Food costs are rising, and the economy in Alberta is still fragile. If Alberta is to be the bread basket of the world and a global agri-business Mecca, it should enjoy the fruits of its own labour through the presence of a robust domestic food sector.
Background: Alberta’s long-standing farming and agriculture tradition provides this province a strong foundation for a high quality of life. Alberta’s high tech agri-business sector and its quality agri-foods exports are increasingly in demand around the globe. However, local food, within current structures, is typically more expensive, and often not widely available. A local food policy can be a key driver in local and regional economic development.

Therefore, bison must generally be cooked at a lower temperature and/or for less time. It is not recommended that bison be prepared in a well-done state. Steaks Although tender cuts (tenderloin, loin steaks, rib steaks) do not require it, for best results marinate steaks 24 hours in marinade of choice before cooking. Roasts For tenderloin, lion, rib roasts, top sirloin butt, preheat oven to 275 deg. For sirloin tip, cross rib, inside round, outside round flat and eye of round, brown roast at 500 deg.
