Advancing Canadian Agriculture and Agri-Food (ACAAF) Program
The goal of the Advancing Canadian Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (ACAAF) Program is to position Canada's agriculture and agri-food sector at the leading edge to capture new opportunities. Ideas that lead to better products, processes and technologies need to be developed, tested and advanced for use throughout the sector. Information needs to reach the right people at the right time. ACAAF is about the future of the Canadian agriculture and agri-food sector and finding new approaches for advancement and innovation.
The agriculture and agri-food industry is constantly changing and requires flexibility and the capacity to address new issues as they emerge.
Under the ACAAF program, funding is available for eligible projects identified and carried out by the agriculture and agri-food sector. The ACAAF program complements the objectives set out under the Agricultural Policy Framework (APF) and will further advance progress toward its goals by engaging industry stakeholders in undertaking new activities which complement existing programming. ACAAF will also encourage the sector to contribute to future agriculture and agri-food policy directions.
The objectives of the ACAAF program are to:
- Expand the sector's capacity to respond to current and emerging issues.
- Position the sector to capture market opportunities.
- Actively and continuously engage the sector to contribute to future agriculture and agri-food policy directions.
- Integrate sector-led projects tested and piloted under ACAAF into future government or industry initiatives.
