Agricultural Sustainability Call for Proposals

As a catalyst for innovation, adaptation, and advancement for a profitable and sustainable agriculture and agri-business industry, the Agricultural Adaptation Council (AAC) issued a Call for Proposals (CFP) on December 8, 2011, to encourage projects that address agricultural sustainability in Ontario.

Eligible projects must be consistent with the objectives and principles of Canadian Agricultural Adaptation Program (CAAP) as outlined in the AAC CAAP Guide. Proposals submitted under the CFP will focus on one or more of the three defined areas of sustainability – economic, environmental and/or social.

Sustainability is defined as follows for the purposes of this CFP:

• Economic sustainability – participants in the value chain have reasonable and equal opportunity to prosper
• Environmental sustainability – the industry conserves, protects and regenerates resources and is resilient to climate and ecological conditions
• Social sustainability – the industry generates goods and services reflecting demographic trends of the general population
   

Proposal Submission Deadline: Thursday, March 15, 2012 at 4:00 p.m.
