Have an Innovative Idea?  Apply to the Farm Innovation Program!

The Farm Innovation Program is accepting applications for projects that increase the development, adaptation, assessment, and adoption of innovative on-farm technologies.

Producers can apply for funding in collaboration with a non-supply managed member organization of the Ontario Agricultural Commodity Council.

Funding is available for:

• Research projects that address industry needs and are intended to lead to the adoption of innovative on-farm technologies;
• Demonstration of innovative on-farm technologies resulting from research and/or demonstration of innovative technologies from other jurisdictions under Ontario on-farm conditions; and
• Projects that otherwise support the adoption of innovative on-farm technologies.

The Farm Innovation Program is funded through Growing Forward, a federal-provincial-territorial initiative.  The Agricultural Adaptation Council assists in the delivery of Growing Forward programs in Ontario.

For more information please contact:
 
Jean Howden or visit the Agricultural Adaptation Council website for an information guide and application forms.

Projects must be submitted by February 2, 2010 to Jean Howden for the next round of funding review.
