Government Invests in Canada’s First National Bioeconomy Strategy to Help Grow a Clean Economy

Ottawa, Ontario - Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada - Marie-Claude Bibeau, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, announced today an investment of up to $200,000 to Bioindustrial Innovation Canada under the Canadian Agricultural Adaptation Program. This funding was used to build the first national bioeconomy strategy to help meet the goal of reducing CO2 emissions, reduce greenhouse gases and attract additional markets in the biomass and bioproduct sector.

 

The project will allow Canadian farmers with opportunities to diversify their commodities into new markets and develop new uses for crops. This new strategy will also provide a great opportunity to work with other sectors, including forestry to help meet Canada’s agriculture growth plans for a greener economy.

Getting closer to planting season means one thing… it’s time to get EVERYTHING ready.

Today didn’t go exactly as planned—we thought we’d be hauling potatoes again, but instead we spent the day digging equipment out of the cellar, hooking up the grain drill, and getting tractors ready to roll. With wheat planting just around the corner, every piece of equipment matters.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a normal day without a few problems… dead batteries, hydraulic issues, and a truck tire that absolutely refused to cooperate. We tried everything—jump packs, bead bazooka, ratchet straps… and eventually had to bring out the “big guns” just to get things moving again.

But that’s farm life—adapt, fix, and keep moving forward.

We’re getting close to go-time. Wheat seed is coming soon, and planting season is right around the corner
