Applications are being accepted in Alberta for the Growing Forward Biosecurity program, designed to improve public awareness of the issue and encourage producers to adopt biosecurity measures.
The three-year grant program offers financial support to Alberta producers, not-for-profit organizations and farm service providers to adopt and promote biosecurity measures in line with national standards.
Grants will cover 50 percent of eligible expenses for approved activities. Applicants will be expected to cover the remaining 50 percent.
