Canada invests in agricultural development
(World-Grain.com, July 01, 2009)

CARMAN, MANITOBA, CANADA — The Governments of Canada and Manitoba announced on June 30 a partnership that will invest C$39 million to drive innovation for farm families in Manitoba.

According to the federal government, the fund is cost shared with C$19.77 million from Manitoba and C$19.48 million from the federal government over five years.

"Farmers are always looking for new and better ways to give Canadian agriculture a competitive edge and these investments are going to drive that innovation," said Vic Toews, federal Treasury Board president. "These investments are giving Manitoba farmers access to new technologies and markets to keep our agricultural sector strong."

The Innovation Fund supports projects that create and develop new methods, products and technology that will improve Manitoba's competitive edge in the agriculture sector.

"Manitoba's agriculture sector succeeds on so many fronts today because of the innovative spirit of our agricultural producers and processors," said Rosann Wowchuk, Manitoba Minister of Agriculture, Food, and Rural Initiatives. "By encouraging diversity and adaptation to environmental, production and market challenges, we have established an industry with a reputation for quality and competitiveness, and this needs to continue if we are to meet changing local and global market demands."

The federal government said Innovation Funding will be channeled to projects submitted through two funding avenues: the Industry Innovation Suite that supports investment in innovative projects brought forward by participants in the sector, and the Strategic Innovation Suite that supports investment in strategically important initiatives brokered by the province among government and industry stakeholders.
