Farm energy and solar programs still accepting applications

 Two programs designed to help Alberta farms, ranches, and agri-processors with energy efficiency and solar projects continue to accept applications.
The Farm Energy and Agri-Processing (FEAP) Program shares costs with the agriculture and agri-processing sector on energy efficiency investments. The program is designed to encourage energy management which will result in cost savings, energy conservation, and ultimately in reduced greenhouse gas emissions. These incentives are available for farms, ranches, and agri-processors.

Find more information, terms and conditions, and application forms for the Farm Energy and Agri-Processing Program.

The On-Farm Solar Photovoltaics (OFSPV) Program provides funding for solar photovoltaics systems on an applicant’s property. Retroactive projects that have been completed after April 15, 2017 are also eligible.

Welcome to Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show AgTech Breakfast. This annual Ontario outdoor farm show has always been a place where innovation thrives.

The AgTech Breakfast takes place every September to create a space where farmers and representatives from startup companies can meet and discuss innovations that bring new options to the agriculture industry. This is a great opportunity for attendees of this event to see what’s new.

At the AgTech Breakfast, attendees hear from a panel of companies, followed by a casual discussion session where farmers and representatives from startup companies can discuss new technology related to farming and share opportunities and challenges that impact Canadian agriculture.

One company featured at the 2024 AgTech Breakfast at Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show was VETSon. This company connects producers and veterinarians for one-on-one consultations through online and app technology to improve options for livestock management.
