Program Details
 
 
  The purpose of the Environmental Stewardship and Climate Change – Producer program is to support producers in reducing negative impacts on the environment while enhancing sustainable production, managing climate change and increasing profitability in the agriculture sector.

The focus of the program will be on activities and practices that:

  • reduce the risks to agricultural contaminants entering water
  • enhance sustainable production while mitigating carbon emissions that impact air and soil quality
  • help producers manage and adapt to climate change.

Activities include (but are not limited to) Beneficial Management Practices, such as:
  • watering systems
  • riparian fencing
  • livestock facility management
  • improved manure storage facilities
  • manure application
  • sectional controls
  • agricultural plastic bag rollers
  • shelterbelts.
Primary producers in Alberta are eligible to apply.

A valid Alberta Environmental Farm Plan (EFP) is a prerequisite to this program.
