- AAFC AgriScience Program – Projects
AgriScience Projects (Projects): This component aims to support specific shorter-term research activities to help industry overcome challenges and address fiscal barriers experienced by small and emerging sectors. They also seek to mitigate high risk opportunities that have the potential to yield significant returns.
- Alberta Bio Future (ABF) and its sub-programs focus primarily on projects that add value to biomass in agriculture and forestry, and create new and improved bioindustrial products and bioindustrial technologies. March 31, 2019
The purpose of the Surveillance program is to close gaps in surveillance in order to increase the early detection of existing and emerging livestock diseases, Crop Pests, Bee Pests, food borne hazards, and other risks affecting plan, animal and public health.Applicants are encouraged to develop projects in which the applicant communicates their findings to the Alberta agriculture industry.For funding purposes, the program has 3 areas of focus (plant health, animal health, and food safety), each with separate funding constraints.
