Applications for the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership are available on the Department of Fisheries, Forestry and Agriculture website.

The Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership is a five-year, $3.5 billion initiative that aims to strengthen the competitiveness, innovation, and resiliency of Canada’s agriculture, agrifood and agri‐based products sector. Newfoundland and Labrador’s agriculture sector will have access to nearly $43 million in cost-shared federal-provincial funding.

Key priorities of the partnership include a focus on:

• Climate change and environment;
• Science, research, and innovation;
• Market development and trade;
• Building sector capacity, growth and competitiveness; and
• Resiliency and public trust.

The Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership builds on the success of the $37 million, five-year Canadian Agricultural Partnership, which has funded more than 700 agricultural initiatives in Newfoundland and Labrador since 2018.
