The Government of Canada is committed to working with agricultural industry partners and the private sector to explore and develop new risk management tools that meets the needs of Canadian farmers when faced with serious challenges beyond their control.
Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, Lawrence MacAulay, was at the Harrington Research Farm in Prince Edward Island (PEI) today to announce a $300,500 investment for the Prince Edward Island Federation of Agriculture (PEIFA) to undertake a risk assessment of agriculture on the island. The assessment will include three focus groups, from across PEI, to discuss and rank various risks associated with agricultural production for a range of commodities.
