Grant Explanation:
New Brunswick's Grant for Improving Crop and Livestock Health and Quality is a strategic initiative to bolster the agricultural sector by addressing pest and disease challenges and enhancing the overall well-being of crops and livestock. The program targets organizations, academic institutions, and professionals capable of implementing projects aimed at developing effective health management programs for crop sectors and herds/flocks. Eligible activities include pest management, monitoring, integrated pest management (IPM), fertility practices, and technologies that contribute to improved crop and livestock health.
Applicants can seek funding for projects designed to enhance monitoring, eradication activities, and forecasting capabilities for crops, as well as surveillance, eradication activities, and quality improvements for livestock. The grant also supports training initiatives related to crop and livestock health, fostering knowledge transfer and skill development in the agricultural community.
Moreover, the grant encourages projects targeting strategic plant and animal health improvements that could lead to market opportunities, benefiting the overall health and quality of New Brunswick's agricultural products. Activities addressing on-farm crop or animal health issues through participation in disease surveillance initiatives are also eligible for funding.
In addition, the grant program covers testing fees for pest and disease diagnostics, particularly those essential for regulatory compliance and market access. The level of assistance provided can reach up to 50% of eligible costs, with a maximum grant cap of $75,000 per project. In cases where substantial sector-wide benefits are expected, a higher level of support may be considered.
All applicants are required to adhere to the program's administrative guidelines and comply with reporting requirements outlined in the offer letter. Furthermore, applicants must ensure that they have obtained necessary permits, environmental approvals, or certifications for their projects to proceed.
In terms of regional collaboration, projects demonstrating cross-provincial benefits may be eligible for regional funding support, reflecting the program's aim to generate broader impacts within the agricultural industry.
To apply for the grant, applicants are encouraged to consult with the Department of Agriculture, Aquaculture, and Fisheries staff before submission. Detailed contact information for departmental representatives is available on the official website.
