Ontario Strengthening the Province’s Food Supply System

• Through the Biosecurity Enhancement Initiative, the governments of Canada and Ontario are investing up to $7.5 million in support of 365 projects that will help farmers, food processors, and other essential farm-supporting agri-food businesses protect their operations against disease, enhance operational resilience and heighten public trust in the food supply system.
• Our government is committed to supporting a robust, trusted, and safe agri-food system that can, when necessary, respond quickly to emergencies and reliably manage risks associated with food-animal disease and plant pest outbreaks.
• Enhancing the resiliency and heightening public trust in Ontario’s agri-food sector have been key priorities set for the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership.
