Indigenous Agriculture Development Program Overview
New Brunswick's Indigenous Agriculture Development Program offers funding opportunities for First Nations communities and individuals interested in entering the provincial agricultural industry. The program supports the development of new markets and provides financial assistance to Indigenous applicants with viable agriculture projects. Eligible participants include Indigenous individuals, communities, organizations, and businesses in New Brunswick seeking to enhance their agricultural ventures.
The Indigenous Agriculture Development Program under the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership in New Brunswick aims to promote the participation of Indigenous communities in the local food and agriculture sector. By offering financial support, the program encourages the development of innovative agricultural projects and market expansion initiatives that contribute to the sustainability and growth of Indigenous agricultural practices in the province.
Applicants can access funding through various Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership programs, with a focus on business planning, skills development, and agricultural education. This initiative assists Indigenous farmers in creating viable business plans, managing farm finances effectively, and enhancing technical skills essential for successful agriculture operation. Additionally, the program supports training initiatives for agricultural producer associations and Indigenous organizations to improve sector competitiveness and sustainability.
Indigenous applicants can benefit from higher levels of funding based on the merit and sustainability of their projects, with opportunities for waiving minimum cost-share amounts in exceptional cases. The program emphasizes collaboration with Indigenous communities to enhance agricultural innovation, research, market access, food safety, and crop/livestock sector development, fostering a vibrant Indigenous agricultural landscape in New Brunswick.
