A new website developed by the provincial Department of Agriculture is now available to help Prince Edward Island’s agriculture industry better understand and access programs available through the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership (Sustainable CAP).

Sustainable CAP is a five-year, $3.5-billion investment by the federal, provincial and territorial governments to strengthen the competitiveness, innovation, and resiliency of Canada's agriculture, agri‐food, and agri‐based products sector. This agreement includes $1 billion in federal programs and activities and a $2.5 billion commitment that is cost-shared 60 per cent federally and 40 per cent provincially/territorially for programs that are designed and delivered by provinces and territories.

The dedicated website acts as a one-stop hub for key information, tools, and updates related to Sustainable CAP, making it easier for Island producers to explore funding opportunities, review program guidelines, and find contact information to receive application support. 

“Farmers across the Island have enough on their plates, so it’s important that online resources for finding funding are straightforward and easy to use,” says Hon. Heath MacDonald, federal minister of agriculture and agri-food. “The new Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership website will help provide farmers with tools to succeed right at their fingertips.”

“We’re always working to make agricultural programming more accessible and easier to navigate for producers. By launching this website, we’re giving farmers on Prince Edward Island a gateway to explore funding opportunities and receive the support they need to strengthen and grow their unique operations,” says Hon. Bloyce Thompson. PEI deputy premier and minister of agriculture. “This first-of-its-kind tool is designed to reduce barriers and help producers make the most of what Sustainable CAP has to offer.”
