Agriculture and the Environment (Yukon Territory) - Annex 2, paragraph 12
Environment related objective
To promote the stewardship of agricultural lands and the surrounding environment.
The programme has two main initiatives:
1. Agri-Environment Baseline Indicators: The objective of this initiative is to create new, and reinforce existing, datasets of information for vegetation, soil, feed and water quality in agricultural areas and to determine the best areas to develop agriculture lands based on soil capability, arability and irrigability assessment, consistent with Canada's broader environmental policy.

2. Reclamation of Yukon Land: The objective of this initiative is to reclaim Yukon land that has been impacted through agricultural activity and which poses a hazard to the environment or wildlife.

Prime-Vert (Québec) - Annex 2, paragraph 2(a), (d) and paragraph 12
Environmental protection and the promotion of sustainability

The programme is split into five components:

1. Agri-environment interventions Annex 2, paragraph 12
The objective of this component is to support farmers in the implementation of agri environmental practices and production patterns that serve to reduce pollution from agriculture and promote biodiversity.

2. Water management Annex 2, paragraph 12
This component is designed to implement water management projects aimed at protecting watersheds, improving water quality, reducing agriculture-related water pollution and responding to blue-green algae.

3. Addressing regional and inter-regional environmental issues Annex 2, paragraph 2(a) and paragraph 12
The third component of this programme is designed to address environmental issues focused in one distinct region and those that might affect several adjacent regions of Quebec. Funding is provided both to environmental projects and to specific research projects, focused on climate change adaptation and on agriculture-wildlife cohabitation.

4. Agri-environmental knowledge transfer Annex 2, paragraph 2(d)
This component of the programme is available to agricultural associations, technical groups, research centres and advisory groups and is meant to aid in the dissemination of information to encourage the adoption of new technologies, practices and production methods that respect and benefit the environment.

5. Coordination for agri-environmental groups Annex 2, paragraph 2(d)
The final component of the programme provides funding to assist with agri-environmental clubs which promote environmental advisory services to producers.
