Description

The Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership (Sustainable CAP) launched in April 2023 and is a five-year framework, with a cost-shared federal-provincial investment of $508 million over five years towards strategic programs and services for the agriculture and agri-food industry in Alberta. The Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation committed to following up with stakeholders in the fall of 2023 to identify if gaps and opportunities can be addressed through program changes in year two, beginning April 2024. Input from the Sustainable CAP stakeholder engagement has helped inform program adjustments that will enable the framework to best serve Alberta’s agriculture sector.
