Funding Available to Strengthen the Agriculture Industry in Canada

The Canadian Agricultural Partnership (CAP) is a five-year federal-provincial-territorial initiative to strengthen the Agriculture, Agri-food, and Agri-based products sector and increase its competitiveness, prosperity and sustainability. Open from 2018 to 20223, this program supports agriculture with:

• Simplified and streamlined programs and services that are easier to access
• Improvements to programs that help you manage significant risks that threaten the viability of your farm and are beyond your capacity to manage
• $2 billion in FPT cost-shared strategic initiatives
• $1 billion for federal activities and programs

Under CAP, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada provides an investment to support region-specific agriculture programs and services that are tailored to meet regional needs with programs that are developed and delivered by the provinces and territories. Such provinces and territories that offer these CAP programs are: 

• Alberta
• British Columbia
• Manitoba
• New Brunswick
• Newfoundland and Labrador
• Nova Scotia
• Ontario
• Prince Edward Island
• Quebec
• Saskatchewan
