FARM INNOVATION

Farm Innovation Program

The Farm Innovation Program (FIP) was part Growing Forward Innovation and Science Suite of programs, a federal-provincial-territorial initiative. The aim of FIP was to boost agricultural research, competitiveness, and productivity in Ontario’s agricultural sectors. This program is now closed. Case Studies to the Farm Innovation Program
