 1.3 - Assist the agriculture and agri-food industry to maximize opportunities for value-added agricultural products.

Under Strategy 1.3 in the South Saskatchewan Regional Plan, Alberta Agriculture and Forestry (AF) is committed to assisting the agriculture and agri-food industry in maximizing the opportunities for value-added agricultural products in the region. AF is supporting this endeavor through extension programs and services and Growing Forward 2 - a Federal-Provincial-Territorial Policy Framework that ran from 2013 to 2018 and is currently replaced by the Canadian Agricultural Partnership (CAP) for the 2018 -2022 period. The Growing Forward 2 Agri-Processing Grant Program supported value-added agriculture until March 2018 that is to be continued under CAP programs onward.

In 2016-2017, AF assisted 161 different agri-processing companies across the Province including 78 in the South Saskatchewan region – by funding projects aimed at growing their businesses. To learn more about AF’s work in support of this strategy, click here.
