Governments Bolstering Food Supply System

The Biosecurity Enhancement Initiative is a new, cost-share offering that helps farmers, food processors, and other essential farm-supporting agri-food businesses protect their operations against disease and enhance public trust in the food supply system.

This follows investments of up to $3 million to enhance biosecurity and emergency preparedness in Ontario’s pork sector.

A safe and stable supply chain requires a strong biosecurity approach, and our government is committed to supporting a robust, trusted, and safe agri-food system.

This initiative aligns with our Grow Ontario Strategy, which aims to increase food production by 30% by 2023 and grow agri-food exports by 8% annually.

By investing in biosecurity measures, we are not only safeguarding the health of our agricultural sector, but also promoting economic growth and reinforcing our commitment to delivering high-quality food to consumers globally.
