A new online resource is available for farmers looking to capitalize on climate-conscious farming practices.
“The Canadian Alliance for Net-Zero Agri-food’s (CANZA) Marketplace is a long-term national effort to recognize and reward farmers for their stewardship efforts on their farms,” Ashley Honsberger, the interim executive director of the organization, told Farms.com. “It was developed with the thinking that if Canadian agriculture works together then we can organize the landscape of supports farmers have access to.”
The marketplace serves as a central hub for farmers to identify government and industry programs that align with their farming practices.
CANZA’s platform is only available to Ontario farmers for now. A rollout for Quebec is expected in the summer with the Prairies following in the longer term.
Opening the marketplace for Ontario’s ag community is the first step of a larger project.
