Governments Announce Renewed Funding To Build Resiliency and Public Trust In Agriculture

Today, the Governments of Canada and Saskatchewan announced more than $4.1 million to support Farm & Food Care Saskatchewan, Agriculture in the Classroom Saskatchewan and 4-H Saskatchewan over the next five years under the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership (Sustainable CAP). This investment supports the organizations that tell the story of agriculture in Saskatchewan and build public trust while developing the next generation of agriculture leaders.  

“By helping consumers understand how farmers produce food, organizations like the 4-H, Fram and Food Care and Agriculture in the Classroom strengthen the public’s trust in our food system,” said Federal Agriculture and Agri-Food Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau. “They also connect future leaders to the agriculture and agri-food sector, which sparks young people’s interest in this essential area.”

"These groups are vital advocates of the agriculture industry," Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister David Marit said. "By supporting their work, these groups provide farmers, ranchers and agri-businesses with a stronger collective voice so their stories can reach consumers, classrooms and communities across the province."
