Description

The 2024 OFCAF Program will be open for applications soon.

OFCAF is designed to help producers tackle climate change by supporting new actions to lower greenhouse gas emissions. This is intended to reduce the risk of new practices, while expanding, sustaining and documenting activities that may not occur without this funding. The program is delivered by Results Driven Agriculture Research (RDAR) with funding from the Agricultural Climate
Solutions initiative managed by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada.

OFCAF provides financial support to producers to accelerate adoption of beneficial management practices (BMPs) that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and support increased production efficiency, sustainability, and resiliency on their farm operations.

Eligible Expenses

  • Nitrogen Management
  • Cover Cropping
