Description:

AgriRecovery is a federal-provincial-territorial (FPT) disaster relief framework provided by Canadian Agricultural Partnership (CAP) that is intended to work together with the core Business Risk Management (BRM) programs to help agricultural producers recover from natural disasters.

  • disease (e.g., Bovine Tuberculosis, Potato Wart);
  • pest infestation (e.g., Potato Cyst Nematodes, Grasshoppers);
  • extreme weather (e.g., drought, flooding, tornado); and/or
  • contamination of the natural environment (e.g., chemical event).
