The Government of Canada has announced the launch of the Food Link Fund, a new $1 billion initiative designed to strengthen the country's food distribution system and improve access to affordable, locally produced food.
The Food Link Fund will focus on improving the infrastructure needed to move food efficiently from farms and processing facilities to stores and communities.
By investing in transportation, storage, distribution, and market connections, the fund is expected to strengthen food supply chains and support economic growth in rural and urban regions alike.
The application process for the Food Link Fund is open until Dec. 11.
Interested applicants must first submit an Expression of Interest. Projects that meet the program's objectives will then be invited to submit a full proposal for consideration.
