The Agri-Environmental Support Program funds environmental research on vegetation, soil, feed and water quality in agricultural areas. This includes:
- assessing the best areas to develop agriculture land;
- updating and creating new environmental datasets;
- supporting 3rd-party scientific assessment for projects needing Yukon Environmental and Socio-economic Assessment Act(YESAA) review or permits; and
- supporting research studies or workshops on the impact of climate change on agriculture.
