Growing Forward: The New
Agricultural Government Grant
Growing Forward, is a
federal-provincial-territorial initiative.
Growing Forward is
a commitment to Canada's agriculture sector that's focused on achieving
results, reflects input from across the sector, and delivers programs
that are simple, more effective and tailored to local needs.
Governments are investing $1.3 billion over five years
into Growing Forward programs. The funding represents
$330 million more than the Agricultural Policy Framework (APF) and is
cost-shared on a 60:40 basis between the Government of Canada and the
provincial and territorial governments.
Growing Forward
puts emphasis on building a profitable sector through its three
strategic outcomes:
- A competitive and innovative sector: From idea to
invention to consumer, growing new opportunities that support
innovation and competitiveness.
- A sector that contributes to society's priorities:
Enabling the sector to contribute to the priorities of increasingly
health-conscious and environmentally aware Canadians.
- A sector proactive in managing risks: The business
risk management (BRM) suite were the first programs available under Growing Forward, offering more
responsive, predictable and bankable programs for farmers.
In addition, Growing
Forward provides:
- Flexible programs that better meet local needs:
Finding the best ways of adapting programs to meet regional needs while
achieving common national goals.
- Action on key regulatory priorities: A competitive
and innovative sector supported by modernizing regulatory processes and
improving regulatory cooperation for the betterment of all Canadians.
- Better service delivery: Simple and more accessible
programs and services.
