Preserving a healthy environment is key to agricultural success. An Environmental Farm Plan (EFP) can help you identify and address environmental risks in your operation.
Why get an EFP?
- Increase your operational efficiency & reduce farm costs
- EFPs can be used as a marketing tool if you sell directly to the public
- More and more commodity groups & agencies require EFPs
- Many government programs require EFPs to get funding
- Increase your understanding of legal requirements related to environmental issues
EFP Workshops
Throughout the year, County of Barrhead often hosts interactive workshops to provide in-person assistance with completing an EFP. We often also provide information on other funding available to producers, including the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership and the Resilient Agricultural Landscapes Program.
