OFA attends announcement for new biosecurity initiative

OFA was in attendance at Walker Farms in Aylmer earlier this week for the announcement of a new support program aimed at enhancing biosecurity and risk preparedness in the agri-food sector.

The governments of Canada and Ontario are investing up to $7.5 million through the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership to help eligible agri-food businesses improve animal health and welfare, plant health, and food safety in their sector.

The Biosecurity Enhancement Initiative is a new, cost-share offering that is designed to help farmers, processors, and other farm-supporting agri-food businesses enhance operational resilience and improve public trust in the food supply system.
