Federal
Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay has promised $25 million for a new
federal-provincial agricultural clean technology program.
He said it will
be open to provincial and territorial governments who “are
encouraged to work with industry on projects that focus on precision agriculture and/or bioproducts.
“This $25 million, three-year investment will help the
agricultural sector reduce greenhouse gas emissions through the development and
adoption of clean technologies,” he said by way of a news release while he was on
a farm in Quebec.
