The COVID-19 outbreak has created challenges for the agri-food sector. OMAFRA has been reviewing all programming under the Canadian Agricultural Partnership (the Partnership ) to ensure it addresses sector needs.

OMAFRA continues to work on enhancing the Place to Grow: strategic solutions stream to better support the sector in recovering from COVID-19 and building resiliency for the future.

The Place to Grow program also includes the "Funding for sectors" stream which supports agriculture and food value-chain partners to address emerging sector challenges and opportunities to create sector wide benefits.
