Canadian Agricultural Partnership programs are changing in Alberta. These changes will be in effect for the remainder of the Canadian Agricultural Partnership, which expires on March 31, 2023. The changes will strengthen the focus on investment and growth of the agriculture, agri-food and agri-processing industry in Alberta; encourage innovation and technological advancement on-farm and in value-added facilities; and maintain our pledge to grow public confidence in the agriculture industry. The official changes take effect Spring 2021. Updated programs will be posted on this Programs page.

Alberta Agriculture and Forestry and Results Driven Agriculture Research (RDAR) have entered into an agreement where RDAR administers the Canadian Agricultural Partnership (CAP) Science and Research program funding. RDAR’s mandate is to support results driven agriculture research priorities and programs that will increase competitiveness and profitability of Alberta’s agriculture industry. Visit RDAR to learn more about funding for science and research projects. If you have questions regarding an existing grant under the Accelerating the Advancement of Agricultural Innovation program or the Adapting Innovative Solutions in Agriculture program, please forward the correspondence to research@rdar.ca to ensure all reporting requirements are received and any questions or requests can be addressed.

Other programming for the agriculture and agri-business sector may be found here:; a web-based discovery tool developed by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) to help farmers and others in the agriculture and agri-business sector find the federal, provincial, and territorial agricultural information that specifically applies to them.
