Purpose

As part of Growing Forward, the Federal-Provincial-Territorial Framework Agreement, the Prince Edward Island Department of Agriculture delivers the Food Safety, Biosecurity and Traceability Program. This cost-shared program makes assistance available to producers, boards, associations and agri-businesses to facilitate the implementation of food safety, traceability and biosecurity measures. 

The program is divided into five sub-programs:

  1. On-Farm Food Safety Sub-Program
  2. Post-Farm Food Safety Sub-Program
  3. Implementation Assistance Sub-Program
  4. Traceability Projects Sub-Program
  5. Animal and Plant Biosecurity Sub-Program

Terms and Conditions for all sub-programs:

Applicants must meet the eligibility criteria and submit a completed application form to the Department of Agriculture. Applications must be received by the Department before the commencement of any project activities in order to receive assistance.  If the project is not approved, all incurred costs are the responsibility of the applicant.  Assistance for each sub-program will be available during each fiscal year (April 1st to March 31st) or until funds are totally allocated within that year, whichever comes first.  Program guidelines and application forms may be revised at any time throughout the life of the Canada-P.E.I. Food Safety, Biosecurity and Traceability Program, at the discretion of the P.E.I. Department of Agriculture.
