OFCAF applications now open through RDAR 

Applications for the On-Farm Climate Action Fund (OFCAF), delivered in Alberta through the Results Driven Agriculture Research (RDAR), are now open.

The OFCAF program provides financial support to producers to accelerate the adoption and implementation of on-farm Beneficial Management Practices (BMPs) intended to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions while supporting production efficiency, sustainability and resilience on farm operations.
