The governments of Canada and Manitoba are investing up to $1 million through the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership (Sustainable CAP) to support learning activities, knowledge transfer and resource development for local agricultural organizations, federal Agriculture and Agri-Food Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau and Manitoba Agriculture Minister Derek Johnson announced today.

“The Industry Development Initiatives program will create opportunities for producers to learn from each other through a variety of innovative learning tools,” said Bibeau. “Engaging agriculture employees in training can also lead to higher retention, which strengthens resiliency of the sector.”
