The Canadian Agricultural Partnership is a five-year, $3 billion federal-provincial-territorial investment in the agriculture, agri-food and agri-based products sector that began in April 2018. In Alberta, the Canadian Agricultural Partnership represents a federal - provincial investment of $406 million in strategic programs and initiatives for the agricultural sector. The Canadian Agricultural Partnership programs in Alberta will remain in effect until the end of March 2023.

Preparing for the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership

Alberta Agriculture and Irrigation officials are preparing for a smooth transition between the current Canadian Agricultural Partnership and the new Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership with programs set to begin accepting applications early in April 2023.

Programs under Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership will continue to be available to farmers, ranchers, agri-processors, agri-businesses, industry associations and groups, post-secondary institutions, research organizations and agricultural municipalities.

Please be sure to bookmark the Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation webpage for upcoming announcements about the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership.
