Agri-Tech Innovation Initiative

Stimulating Growth in Ontario's Agri-Food Industry!

The Agri-Tech Innovation Initiative (ATIl) has supported Ontario farms and food processors in adopting innovative technologies, equipment and processes to increase production capacity, enhance energy efficiency and strengthen their operations.

More than 300 Ontario farms and food processors were approved for over $22 million in funding. Combined with applicant cost-share, ATIl will generate over $61 million in total investment across Ontario' agriculture and food sector between 2024 and 2027.

ATIl is funded in part through the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership, a 5-year, $3.5 billion federal-provincial-territorial initiative. This program is being delivered by the Agricultural Adaptation Council on behalf of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Agribusiness.
