Resilient Agricultural Landscape Program

$2,000/acre for establishing a single-species, native perennial grassland or rejuvenating an existing grassland

$3,000/acre for establishing diverse (multi-species) native perennial grasslands
Accepting Applications
Funding is to support the planting of native perennial grasses, either as naturalization or as high-yield crop grasses.

Native grasslands result in more resilient agricultural landscapes with an increased ability to sequester carbon, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, reduce soil erosion and provide many other ecological benefits. Native grasslands are often best suited to wet, sloping, poor-soil, or otherwise marginal fields.

Resilient Agricultural Landscape Program

$500/acre for increasing plantings of perennial biomass crops / warm season pastures in annual crop rotations

$1,000/acre for converting marginal and high-risk annual cropland (e.g., riparian areas) to perennial biomass crops / perennial warm season pastures
Accepting Applications
Funding is to support the planting of perennial biomass (e.g., switchgrass) & warm season pastures.

Increasing the frequency of perennial biomass crops in annual rotations and/or use of warm season grasses as part of pasture management results in more resilient agricultural landscapes with an increased ability to sequester carbon, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, reduce soil erosion and provide many other ecological benefits.

Resilient Agricultural Landscape Program

$30/acre for moderate reductions to tillage practices

$50/acre for more substantial reductions to tillage practices
Accepting Applications
To support farmers who want to implement a new practice of no-till, strip-till or minimum tillage and ultimately increase the number of acres under reduced tillage on annual cropland in Ontario.

Reduced tillage practices result in more resilient agricultural landscapes with an increased ability to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, reduce soil erosion and provide many other ecological benefits.

Resilient Agricultural Landscape Program

$2,000/acre for activities supporting improving existing tree/shrub stands

$3,000/acre for the establishment of new tree/shrub stands
Accepting Applications
Funding is to support the maintenance of existing or establishment of new tree and shrub plantings on agricultural landscapes in Ontario.

Tree and shrub plantings result in more resilient agricultural landscapes with an increased ability to sequester carbon, reduce soil erosion and provide many other ecological and water quality benefits.

Resilient Agricultural Landscape Program

$6,000 per acre to renew or rejuvenate an existing water retention feature and/or shallow groundwater type feature (minimum 15’ depth)

$10,000 per acre for establishing a new water retention feature and/or a lined reservoir type feature (minimum 15’ depth)
Accepting Applications
Funding is to support the enhancement or rejuvenation of an existing water retention feature and/or shallow groundwater type feature or establishing a new water retention feature and/or a lined reservoir type feature on agricultural landscapes in Ontario. The feature must be a minimum of 15 feet deep to qualify for cost-share funding.

Water retention features help farmers to adapt to changing climate conditions and manage fluctuations in water resources, creating more resilient agricultural production and providing many other ecological and water quality benefits.

Resilient Agricultural Landscape Program

$15,000/acre for restoring the function and/or increasing the acreage of an existing wetland

$25,000/acre for the establishment of a new wetland
Accepting Applications
Funding is to support the enhancement, restoration, or establishment of wetlands on agricultural landscapes in Ontario.

Wetlands result in more resilient agricultural landscapes with an increased ability to sequester carbon, reduce soil erosion and provide many other ecological and water quality benefits.
