Environmental Farm Plan 

Environmental Farm Plans (EFP) are assessments voluntarily prepared by farm families to increase their environmental awareness in up to 23 different areas on their farm. Through the EFP local workshop process, farmers will highlight their farm's environmental strengths identify areas of environmental concern, and set realistic action plans with time tables to improve environmental conditions. Environmental cost-share programs are available to assist in implementing projects.

Visit the Ontario Soil and Crop Improvement Association (OSCIA) website (see http://www.ontariosoilcrop.org/) to find out more.

The Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food runs sessions and provides funding to farmers involved in the program to make their operations more environmentally friendly.
