The On-Farm Climate Action Fund will begin taking applications next month for its second round of funding

The $200-million program is an initiative to help farmers tackle climate change.  

The objective of the Fund is to support farmers in adopting beneficial management practices that store carbon and reduce greenhouse gases.

The program specifically focuses in on nitrogen management, cover cropping and rotational grazing practices.

The second round of funding applications for the On-Farm Climate Action Fund open on February 13th.

The Canadian Forage and Grassland Association is working solely on supporting the rotational grazing practices stream in Alberta, British Columbia, Quebec and Saskatchewan provinces.

Gowan Canada is partnering with Geco Strategic Weed Management to help Canadian growers take a strategic approach to weed control through data-driven prediction and planning.

Geco’s technology uses data and AI to map where weeds have been over the past five years and predict where patches are likely to emerge next season. These insights allow farms and retailers to plan ahead and target actions in the most challenging areas.

“Our technology enables the question: if you could know where your most problematic patches are and where they are spreading to, what could you do differently? That’s what our technology makes possible,” said Greg Stewart, CEO of Geco. “Many of our farms are already using our prescriptions along with Gowan products, so this collaboration is a natural next step.”
