2024 OFCAF program re-opens for additional funding applications

After successfully reviewing and approving over 1,000 applications, Results Driven Agriculture Research (RDAR) is announcing the re-opening of the 2024 On-Farm Climate Action Fund (OFCAF) program.

This new intake will accept an additional 150 funding applications, fulfilling RDAR’s commitment to distributing all available OFCAF funds to Alberta producers. This initiative aims to support farmers and ranchers in adopting impactful, sustainable practices on their operations.

RDAR’s grant management system, Agriculture Research Grant Organizer (ARGO) will be open for applications starting at 8:00 AM on September 6, 2024.

RDAR will process applications on a first-come, first-served basis until the funding is fully committed.

How to apply

  • Applications must be submitted through the Agriculture Research Grant Organizer system.
  • Detailed application guidelines, tutorials, and templates are available online.

OFCAF provides financial support for projects that implement on-farm Beneficial Management Practices (BMPs) in the following areas:

  • Nitrogen Management: Strategies to optimize nitrogen use and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
  • Cover Cropping: Practices involving cover crops to improve soil health and capture carbon.
  • Rotational Grazing Practices: Techniques that enhance pasture management and reduce soil degradation.

For more information, visit RDAR’s OFCAF website, or contact RDAR directly.
