The Governments of Canada and Alberta are providing $1 million in grants to improve water management, environmental sustainability and agricultural production.
The grants will provide funding to help irrigation districts and irrigators plan and develop tools that will enhance innovation and improve efficiency of Alberta's irrigation systems.
The $1 million grant program is part of the Growing Forward 2 federal-provincial-territorial initiative that has a mandate to drive an innovative, competitive and profitable Canadian agriculture and agri-food sector.
