Agriculture Resiliency Program
Program Details | Application Form
Extreme Weather Preparedness Sub-Program
This sub-program supports producers to make infrastructure improvements to increase farm preparedness for extreme weather events, recognizing it can be challenging to accept responsibility for the full cost of retrofitting for future extreme weather events.
Producer Wellness Sub-Program
Farmers face significant challenges in their work, such as extreme weather events and market volatility. This is compounded by difficult working conditions that involve long hours, isolated conditions, and a high risk of occupational injury. Farmers also face personal and institutional barriers in accessing mental health services to address these challenges. The Producer Wellness Sub-Program will support producer wellness initiatives.
