GUELPH, ON – The Ontario Government’s $2-million investment in the
Fertilizer Accelerating Solutions & Technology Challenge is welcomed by the Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA) as a made-in-Ontario solution to an international problem.
The funding is earmarked to support fertilizer options, alternatives and technology from Ontario sources, ensuring farmers have the tools and inputs they need to support healthy crops and ensure Ontario’s food security and food sovereignty.
“The OFA has identified made-in-Ontario solutions to increase the availability of domestic fertilizer options as the key success of Ontario’s food production and processing industry,” says Peggy Brekveld, President of the OFA. “Farming is a challenging profession with many factors such as weather that are beyond our control. Investing in domestic fertilizer solutions is a smart move that will help farmers minimize risk and maximize production.”
