Environmental Farm Plan

The program was officially announced in June 2005 under the Agricultural Policy Framework agreement and ran until March 2008. The Manitoba Environmental Farm Plan (EFP) program had a huge success rate: as of June 2008, over 5,000 Manitoba producers attended an individual EFP workshop and received a statement of completion, resulting in over 8,500 on-farm projects which addressed environmental risks on Manitoba farms.

The EFP program is continuing under a transition year agreement for up to one year or until the next agreement under Growing Forward has been implemented. However, the Canada-Manitoba Farm Stewardship Program is fully subscribed. New partnership initiatives between the Governments of Canada and Manitoba are being developed under Growing Forward.
