The Canada and Manitoba governments will invest nearly $1.5 million in 289 on-farm food safety projects.
Manitoba farmers applied for funding to improve biosecurity, traceability, food safety and quality, and animal health practices on their farms. Governments provided up to 65 per cent of total eligible costs.
More than half of all projects (165) will take place on hog farms. Projects were also approved for beef (46), poultry (40) and bee (22) operations. Sixteen projects were funded on dairy, horticulture, grains and oilseeds and other livestock farms.
