On Tuesday, Federal Agriculture Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau announced an investment of $3.7 million for two projects in support of Farm Management Canada at the Agriculture Excellence Conference.
"The Agriculture Excellence Conference is a key annual event for producers and our industry, where we can have meaningful discussions and see the dedication of everyone working to provide food to consumers in Canada and abroad," said Bibeau. "The funding announced today will give farmers and industry professionals the opportunities to share their knowledge and expertise with others, especially young farmers. It will also give them access to important training to help them better manage the many risks they face.
The first project, with an investment of over $1.8 million through the AgriCompetitiveness program, will help farmers build their business management skills and practices by facilitating the sharing and expansion of skills, knowledge and best practices throughout the sector.
Farm Management Canada is also receiving an investment of over $1.8 million through the AgriRisk initiative’s research and development stream. With this funding, Farm Management Canada will provide training and education to producers and industry professionals that promote comprehensive approach to managing risk in agriculture.
