The governments of Canada and Ontario are investing up to $22.6 million, through the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership (Sustainable CAP), to expand production capacity and boost energy efficiency in the agriculture and food sector. Recipients include 319 farming and agri-food businesses.
Some examples of investments made through this federal-provincial initiative included:
- - Up to $49,000, for Roelofsen Nursery, in Norwich, to purchase an electric self- propelled sprayer for field nursery crops.
- - Up to $45,000 for Byler Enterprises Ltd., in Algoma District, to install reverse osmosis equipment for maple syrup production that concentrates sap, reducing boiling time and required energy, while improving syrup quality.
- - Up to $100,000, for Solmaz Foods, in Etobicoke, for a refrigeration and freezer investment to enhance energy efficiency and capacity.
The Agricultural Adaptation Council is delivering the Agri-Tech Innovation Initiative. Approved projects are to be completed by the end of 2027.
