BACKGROUND INFORMATION – On Farm Climate Action Fund (OFCAF)

On Farm Climate Action Fund (OFCAF) is a federal fund that was announced in Feb 2022.  It will offer cost-share funding for three project streams: (1) nitrogen management, (2) cover cropping and (3) rotational grazing. Other activities, such as outreach, education and training are also supported.

• • Canadian Forage and Grasslands Association (CFGA) was selected as a recipient organization to distribute rotational grazing OFCAF funding in the provinces of BC, AB, SK and QC.
  • CFGA will be distributing the OFCAF rotational grazing funding continuously for producers to apply on.  In order to apply producers must complete the Advanced Grazing Systems training and a Rotational Grazing Plan.
  • BC Investment Agriculture (BCIA) was also selected as a recipient organization to distribute (1) nitrogen management, (2) cover cropping and (3) rotational grazing OFCAF funding.  BCIA has designated the BC Climate Agri-Solutions Fund (BCCAF) to deliver the OFCAF funding.  Applications closed mid Oct for 2022 and will open in June 2023 and September 2023.
