The Manitoba government is expanding its Resilient Agricultural Landscape Program (RALP).
The changes are in the area of carbon sequestration and grassland resilience practices.
Manitoba Agriculture Minister Ron Kostyshyn said with increased climate variability making it even more difficult for producers, programs must align with the needs of Manitoba producers to encourage sustainable farming.
The change opens the program for all primary producers, community pastures, agricultural Crown land forage leaseholders, Indigenous primary producers, and communities to access funding.
Selected applicants will receive 75 per cent of the total approved eligible costs up to a maximum of $15,000 per project.
Applications are being accepted until Jan. 22. Projects must be completed in 18 months.
