AAFC has developed the Indigenous Agriculture and Food Systems Initiative (herein referred to as the 'Initiative'), which is a five year, $8.5 million initiative that will support Indigenous communities and entrepreneurs who are ready to launch agriculture and food systems projects and others who want to build their capacity to participate in the Canadian agriculture and agri-food sector.
Through this Initiative, AAFC aims to contribute to the Government of Canada's commitment to reduce barriers for underrepresented groups and focus on building Indigenous Peoples' capacity to succeed in agriculture. The Initiative also supports the development of partnerships between federal and non-federal partners, including Indigenous communities, provincial/territorial governments, and the private sector.
Eligibility
Eligible applicants under this Initiative include:
- Indigenous communities and governments (includes band and tribal councils, governments of self-governing First Nations, local governments of Inuit communities and Métis organizations);
- Indigenous for-profit and not-for-profit corporations, associations, cooperatives and institutions; and
- Indigenous businesses, partnerships and joint ventures.
Note: Eligible applicants must be capable of entering into legally binding agreements.
