Innovative BMPs
85% cost-share funding up to a maximum of $100,000 per project application
Upcoming
- The Ontario On-Farm Climate Action Fund (OFCAF) provides cost-share funding to support the implementation of beneficial management practices (BMPs) to tackle climate change through reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and increasing carbon sequestration. To date, cost-share funding has been made available to farmers under three project categories: nitrogen management, cover cropping, and rotational grazing systems.
- As part of a new opportunity, offered under the OFCAF Expansion Phase, the Ontario Soil and Crop Improvement Association (OSCIA) is pleased to offer cost-share funding to support the merit-based adoption of:
- Biochar application as a soil amendment.
- Biochar provides stable carbon to the soil, providing benefits to soil carbon sequestration, soil health and growing crops, especially in lower quality soils. This program is supported by Agriculture and Agrifood Canada (AAFC). While there is limited Canadian research and development focusing on biochar application as a soil amendment, this is an opportunity for producers to contribute to testing and monitoring that will enhance the adoption of innovative management practices across Ontario’s agricultural industry.
