Ontario's agri-food sector needs to manage food safety risks and the health of animals and plants while being competitive. CAP Protection and Assurance programming will provide support to industry and individual businesses to keep pace with changing assurance systems, rapidly evolving risk, changing marketplace expectations and increasing consumers demand for greater transparency; and ultimately sustain and grow their businesses.
- Program funding will target three priority areas: food safety, animal health and plant health. Programming may benefit businesses that are working towards achieving the following outcomes: food safety; animal health; plant health.
- Protection and Assurance Activities provide additional outcomes (co-benefits) including: increased public trust in Ontario's food safety brand; increased public trust in Ontario's farmed animal handling practices; improved water quality, soil and pollinator health; improved preparedness for climate change adaptation.
