GF2 priority area: Adaptability and Industry Capacity (Cost-Shared): Agri-Environmental Group Plans (Saskatchewan) - Annex 2, paragraph 12:
The province's Agri-Environmental Group Plans (AEGP) provide, through AEGP technicians, access to education and awareness to deal with environmental issues where action by all producers in an area can have a measurable impact. The plans can be used to support sustainable management and development of resources. There are fourteen group plans in Saskatchewan. Producers who do not have an individual Environmental Farm Plan (EFP) can apply through AEGP for Farm Stewardship Program funding to support BMPs.

GF2 priority area: Adaptability and Industry Capacity (Cost-Shared): Climate Action/Climate Adaptation (British Colombia) – Annex 2, paragraph 12:
British Colombia's Climate Action for agriculture programme focuses on helping producers adapt to climate change and on reducing greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture. Adaptation funding provides tools for producers to anticipate climate change impacts and plan to address challenges to production capability. Funding is also available for producers to adopt strategies which will reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Both areas of funding are consistent with the Province's strategy to combat climate change.

GF2 priority area: Adaptability and Industry Capacity (Cost-Shared): Farm Stewardship Program (Saskatchewan) – Annex 2, paragraph 12:
The Farm Stewardship Program provides eligible Saskatchewan producers with financial assistance to implement BMPs to help maintain or improve the quality of soil, water, air, or biodiversity resources.
A BMP is defined as any agricultural management practice which ensures the long-term health and sustainability of land-related resources used for agricultural production, positively impacts the long-term economic and environmental viability of agricultural production and minimizes negative impacts and risk to the environment.

GF2 priority area: Adaptability and Industry Capacity (Cost-Shared): Agriculture and the Environment (Yukon Territory) - Annex 2, paragraph 12: (...)
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.

GF2 priority area: Adaptability and Industry Capacity (Cost-Shared): Prime-Vert (Québec) - Annex 2, paragraph 2(a), (d) and paragraph 12: (...)
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.

Local Food Fund (Ontario): Marketing, Promotion and Education - Annex 2, paragraph 2(f):

Also eligible are educational activities.

Global Institute for Food Security (GIFS) (Saskatchewan):
(...)
The institute will build on Saskatchewan's existing strength in crop production systems through new investments in technological, economic, nutritional and environmental improvements to the food supply system at home and around the world. It will take a strategic approach to the food supply system - for example, breeding for higher yield, improved nutrition and better processing traits, looking at how soil quality affects the nutritional value of crops, and adapting prairie zone crops to available soil and water
