OFCAF Funding

The $200-million On-Farm Climate Action Fund is an initiative to help farmers tackle climate change.  The objective of the Fund is to support farmers in adopting beneficial management practices (BMPs) that store carbon and reduce greenhouse gases, specifically in the areas of:

  • nitrogen management
  • cover cropping
  • rotational grazing practices

The Canadian Forage and Grassland Association is working solely on supporting the rotational grazing practices stream in Alberta, British Columbia, Quebec and Saskatchewan provinces.  The BC Forage Council is pleased to be working with CFGA to implement the initiative in BC.

Learn more about the program in detail, including the full Application Process, on the CFGA program website.
