OSCIA Tier 2 Projects

The Tier Two Grant supports large-scale, multiple year projects throughout the province, encouraging innovation and collaboration. The supported projects will complement the Province’s Agricultural Soil Health and Conservation Strategy, as well as the vision of building successful and sustainable agri-food and agri-product businesses by increasing competitiveness through innovation and strengthen the agriculture sector’s adoption of stewardship priorities and environmental Best Management Practices (BMPs). These projects were funded in part by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs through the Canadian Agricultural Partnership, a five-year federal-provincial-territorial initiative.
