The Canadian Roundtable for Sustainable Beef (CRSB) is pleased to announce that Farm Credit Canada (FCC)’s 2025 Sustainability Incentive opens today for applications for the 2025 program year. To further recognize and support farmers and ranchers in their sustainability journeys, FCC has doubled the eligible maximum annual incentive payment per operation to $4,000 for all program partners of FCC’s Sustainability Incentive.
Incentive payments are calculated as a portion of FCC lending, up to a maximum of $4,000 in one year. Existing participants can reapply annually throughout the life of the program, and FCC welcomes new applications any time before the end of the program year, closing January 31, 2026.
Eligibility Requirements for the CRSB Certified Sustainability Incentive:
- Must be CRSB Certified through a CRSB-approved Certification Body (Verified Beef Production Plus [VBP+], Ontario Corn Fed Beef Quality Assurance Program or Where Food Comes From)
- Must be an FCC customer in good standing with a balance owing on eligible, existing FCC lending
The application is quick and easy. To verify eligibility, FCC simply requires contact information, FCC customer number, a copy of the active operation’s CRSB Certification and name of Certification Body that provided the certification.
FCC now has a number of Sustainability Incentive Programs – if you participate in more than one program for which FCC has an incentive, you may be eligible to qualify for more than one incentive payment.
