Over the past decade, through the Agricultural Greenhouse Gases Program (AGGP), Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) has helped farmers like you adopt technologies, practices and processes that reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs).
By focusing on both the root causes of agricultural GHGs and nutrient losses from agricultural systems, AGGP projects increased farmers’ knowledge of beneficial management practices (BMPs) for livestock, cropping, water use and agroforestry.
AGGP has greatly contributed to better strategies for climate change adaptation across the agricultural sector, and is a good example of how the Government of Canada is working to address climate change.
It’s our pleasure to share interview stories to showcase three pivotal BMPs carried out under AGGP:
The First Sixteen Podcast – EP 017 – Reducing greenhouse gasses with drainage systems
Growing legumes to reduce greenhouse gases
Through Canada’s strengthened climate plan, A Healthy Environment and a Healthy Economy, we continue to help farmers to develop and adopt agricultural management practices to reduce emissions, store carbon in healthy soil and enhance resiliency.
AAFC’s work continues as we recently announced $550 million in federal investments to support the development and adoption of clean technologies and beneficial management practices. Please visit our website for more information about current programming, including: the $165.7-million Agricultural Clean Technology (ACT) program; the $185-million Agricultural Climate Solutions (ACS) – Living Labs program; and the $200-million Agricultural Climate Solutions (ACS) – On-Farm Climate Action Fund program.
We believe farmers are essential to helping Canada meet its climate goals. We thank you for your tremendous efforts.

I would like to apply for a piece of, for lack of better name, tillage equipment. This specialized equipment introduces vertical slices 10” deep into soil and in same pass created micro fractures in soil, all while not turning over living crop on growing on surface. This creates ability to introduce liquid fertilizer or bio solids to root zone and allows air into root zone, stimulates new root growth and improves or illuminates old tillage pan zone. How can I find out If this is acceptable for me to continue to apply for funding and under which categories

My name is Morley Wallace owner of GPS Ontario We are the contracted crop producer for the SMART FARM for the INVEST Ottawa Group Our cropping location is at the old Ag Canada Experimental farm of of Woodroof Ave. We are strong agents for the smart farm, We are providing unique BMP Practices in the reproduction of row crops with a program called FERTILE STRIPPING. This BMP Program I have developed over the past 10+ Years and it is and has been able to address almost every crop reproduction concerns put forth by crop science professors and crop agronomists , Etc. #2. We are partnering with many major companies like Microsoft, Bell mobility testing G% networks signals on agricultural equipment for massive amounts of data creation and data collection. We are then providing that data to 3rd parties businesses to advance their products for future agricultural use. We are also doing specialty testing for specialty companies like Fertilizer Canada. We are working closely with the Ottawa U on advanced environmental concerns dealing with N2O gas. This N2O Gas is considered 100 times more deadly that carbon monoxide. After only (1) year of testing we are seeing a huge reduction in the N2O Gas emissions This testing will be retested this year along with additional advancements to these testing program. We are also assisting in setup and developing a command center to assist in the data collection off of the 125 ac cropping land. where company like Drone deploy and Micro Soft are setting up to be onsite working to produce Ag related farming software. So as you can see we are busy and have an exciting BMP Farming project For more information do contact me or contact the Invest Ottawa group for additional information. Thanks for now Morley Wallace
