The "Improving Crop and Livestock Health and Quality" grant program is a vital initiative aimed at sustaining and enhancing New Brunswick's agricultural landscape. This program is strategically crafted to mitigate the detrimental effects pests and diseases pose on crops and livestock, thereby facilitating a healthier agricultural environment. By ensuring healthier and higher quality produce, the program not only addresses immediate agricultural concerns but also aims to create strategic market advantages for producers within and beyond the province.
Eligible beneficiaries of this program include organizations or groups that represent agricultural commodities within New Brunswick, academic institutions, and individuals or groups capable of meeting the program's objectives.

Additionally, the program promotes regional collaboration efforts, highlighting that projects beneficial across multiple provinces may access regional funding support. This opens the door for expansive projects that leverage the strengths of multiple areas to boost agricultural practices.
