BC Climate Agri-Solutions Fund
$75,000.00
Grant
Description:
The BC Climate Agri-Solutions Fund (BCCAF) provides cost-shared funding to eligible producers and supports the training of certified crop advisors and agrologists as well as information sharing throughout the agricultural community. The objective of BCCAF is to support farmers in adopting beneficial management practices (BMPs) that store carbon and reduce greenhouse gases, specifically in the areas of:
Nitrogen Management
Cover Cropping
Rotational Grazing
These practices also provide other environmental benefits such as improved biodiversity and soil health. Other activities to support the adoption of beneficial management practices, such as outreach, education and training are also supported.
Comments on Funding:
The cost share ratio is 75/25 for all BMP categories, meaning that 75% of the eligible costs for approved projects can be covered by BCCAF funding, up to the maximum funding amount for that category. The remaining 25% must be provided by the applicant.
The total program funding maximum is $75,000.
Applications are closed. Stay tuned for future intake announcements.
