OMAFRA Launches 2019 Excellence in Agriculture Award Program

Ontario's agri-food sector is a driving force for innovation and economic growth in the province, and the provincial government wants to recognize the ideas and passion that are helping to grow and strengthen the sector.

Starting August 23, youth, agri-food innovators, agri-food organizations, primary producers and processors can apply to the program. You can find the program guide and application form at ontario.ca/agrifoodinnovation.

The Excellence in Agriculture award program recognizes those in the agri-food sector that have raised the bar for agri-food excellence, demonstrated leadership in their field, undertaken strategic product development benefiting their sector and/or advanced technological innovation.

The application intake is open until October 11, 2019. You can contact the Agricultural Information Contact Centre at 1-877-424-1300 or ag.info.omafra@ontario.ca for more information about the program.
