Alberta has simplified the process to apply for funding through the Canadian Agricultural Partnership (CAP), the province says in a news release on June 11. Funding for the five-year $406-million partnership remains unchanged with these changes.
“CAP grants have increased our farmers’, ranchers’ and producers’ competitiveness and this will continue going forward. Value-added processing is so important to the industry and a simplified grant process will help us attract private investment across Alberta and create jobs,” Devin Dreeshen, Alberta minister of agriculture and forestry says in there release.
The changes include a simplified grant application process which will allow applicants to receive money faster. Alberta’s CAP funding will focus on investments in agriculture and food processing, the release notes.
Alberta’s nine programs will be organized under three themes — Growth and Value-Added, Farm Efficiency and Public Trust, the release says. The new programs will start to roll out in summer 2021.
