Grant and Funding Programs Offered by Department of Fisheries, Forestry and Agriculture of Newfoundland and Labrador

The Department of Fisheries, Forestry and Agriculture of Newfoundland and Labrador is the provider attached to the Provincial Agrifoods Assistance Program, a core provincial funding tool for agriculture and agrifoods projects. Current Government of Newfoundland and Labrador agriculture pages place this work under Forestry, Agriculture and Lands, but the funding role remains focused on helping farmers, producers and new entrants invest in land development, agriculture infrastructure and projects that improve food self-sufficiency, agricultural growth and secondary food processing. In the funding ecosystem, this type of provincial program is essential because farm investments often require patient, cost-shared capital before producers can expand production, adopt equipment or improve land. By directing funds to agriculture infrastructure and new entrants, the department helps reduce financial barriers, build local food capacity and keep public support tied to measurable sector priorities.
