Gerry Ritz, the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, and the Minister of the Canadian Wheat Board, has announced that the Government of Canada will provide money for research on positive environmental outcomes on agricultural land.

The money will be given to the Lower Souris Watershed Committee, allowing them to create inventory on agricultural land use and determine the most effective tools to achieve positive environmental outcomes.

 

The Watershed Committee will receive $530,000 for the Ecological Goods and Services pilot project.
