Meet Kristen Kelderman, a Farm Animal Care Coordinator for Farm and Food Care Ontario! In her role, Kristen ensures the well being of animals on farms and works to improve the information gap between what consumers believe farmers are doing and what farmers believe consumers are looking for, in regards to animal care. To become a Farm Animal Coordinator, you will need a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Animal Science, Animal Welfare, or a related field. Other certifications relevant to different animals may also be requested. Someone in this job would likely work for the government, animal production companies, food and restaurant companies, animal processing facilities or animal welfare organizations and agencies that oversee or provide services to producers. This video is for all ages.
