ACAAF - Advancing Canadian Agriculture and
Agri-Food Program
The Advancing Canadian Agriculture and Agri-Food
(ACAAF) program is a five-year, $255 million program aimed
at positioning Canada's agriculture and agri-food sector at
the leading edge to seize new opportunities. ACAAF was launched
in April 2004 as a successor to the Canadian and Rural Development
(CARD) Fund, and will continue CARD's innovative and cooperative
approach to funding projects at the national, multi-regional
and regional level.
Under the ACAAF program, funding is provided
for eligible projects identified and carried out by the agriculture
and agri-food sector. The ACAAF program complements the objectives
set out under the Agricultural Policy Framework (APF) and
will further advance progress toward its goals by engaging
industry stakeholders in undertaking new activities which
complement existing programming. ACAAF will also encourage
the sector to contribute to future agriculture and agri-food
policy directions.
