Governments are investing $1.3 billion over five years into Growing Forward programs. The funding represents $330 million more than the Agricultural Policy Framework (APF) and is cost-shared on a 60:40 basis between the Government of Canada and the provincial and territorial governments.

Key non-BRM program areas will include water programming, farm and value-added business development, environment, science and innovation, food safety, traceability and biosecurity.
