|
The agricultural sector
The programme has four components:
1. Applied Research - Annex 2, paragraph 2(a)
This portion of the programme provides funding to research organizations to conduct research on ways to improve techniques and/or processes in the sector. This includes research into practices that promote healthy soils, developments in pest resistance, and optimizing nutritional outcomes.
2. Innovation in Agricultural Production - Annex 2, paragraph 2(d)
The second component of the programme provides funding for the dissemination and implementation of good agricultural practices. The projects typically fall into one of two areas: experimental development, adaptation or technology transfer; or the development of new distribution tools for technical knowledge.
3. Innovation in Products and Processing - Annex 2, paragraph 2(a) and (d)
This component provides funding to promote and oversee the implementation of projects related to product or process innovation, particularly in regards to the development of foods with improved nutritional value. Projects must be innovative and science-based and be related directly to the innovation of a product or process or to a clinical study.
4. Networking and Cooperation - Annex 2, paragraph 2(f)
This final component serves to encourage networking and coordination of actors operating in the innovation chain to allow them to better respond to future market needs. The projects must fit into one of the following categories:
a. Studies supporting the holding of networking activities on science-based innovation, technological needs or the available scientific resources;
b. Networking events on innovation between companies and stakeholders in the innovation chain; and
c. Activities showcasing innovative products, processes, best practices and new technologies.

GF2 priority area: Adaptability and Industry Capacity (Cost-Shared):
Environmental Resource Management and Innovation (Alberta) Annex 2, paragraph 12
|
The areas of focus for the programme are as follows:
1. On-Farm Energy Management initiatives that educate and encourage producers to pursue opportunities to improve their on-farm energy management. This enables producers to conserve energy and reduce carbon emissions, ultimately reducing the environmental footprint of Alberta's agriculture industry.
2. On-Farm Stewardship initiatives support the implementation of BMPs to reduce the risk of agricultural contaminants entering water supplies. The programme targets BMPs that have the greatest potential to reduce impacts on water quality. Completion of an agri-environmental risk assessment is a pre-application condition. The initiatives are meant to positively impact water quality and promote sustainable management of inorganic agricultural wastes.
3. Confined Feeding Operation Stewardship initiatives are designed to help Alberta livestock operations and commercial manure applicators assess potential risks to water quality and make improvements to minimize those risks. Completion of an agri-environmental risk assessment is a pre-application condition. Activities may include engineering assessments, run-on and run-off controls, and improved manure storage facilities.
4. Agricultural Watershed Enhancement initiatives facilitate the delivery of targeted, comprehensive extension programmes, increased uptake of wetland restoration and riparian health BMP. This is done to realize measureable changes within high risk watershed areas, focused on addressing water quality issues. These initiatives encourages watershed groups, municipalities, and/or industry organizations to develop a watershed group plans to target the adoption of BMPs related to surface water quality by producers in high risk areas.

The programme is split into two areas, one focusing broadly on environmental programmes and the other on food safety and related issues.
Environmental funding is focused on beaver damage control, promoting best management practices, creating and improving environmental farm plans and promoting ecological goods and services. The Food Safety elements of Growing Assurance provide funding directly to producers for on-farm food safety initiatives.
