Run by MAPAQ, Prime-Vert Stream 1 helps farm operations adopt agri-environmental practices tied to Quebec's Sustainable Agriculture Plan. Funding supports projects such as reducing pesticide use, improving soil health, optimizing water and fertilizer management, boosting biodiversity, and converting to organic production. A farm can receive up to $40,000 for the initiative, covering up to 50 to 70 percent of eligible costs depending on the project type.
Review times vary by program, from a few weeks to a few months, so check the official page for its timeline. Grant money is usually paid after you sign a funding agreement, and cost-shared programs often reimburse you once you send proof of what you spent.
