The governments of Canada and Ontario have announced a joint investment of $14.6 million to help farmers make significant improvements to their farmlands. The funding will support projects aimed at enhancing soil health, improving water quality, and adopting sustainable farming practices.
Officials stated that the initiative is part of the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership, which focuses on building a resilient and competitive agriculture sector. Farmers will be able to access cost-share programs to implement innovative technologies and conservation measures.
The investment is expected to benefit thousands of farmers across Ontario, ensuring long-term productivity while protecting the environment. Applications for the program will open soon, with priority given to projects that promote sustainability and climate resilience.
