The Ontario Soil and Crop Improvement Association (OSCIA) is excited to be delivering the NEW Resilient Agricultural Landscape Program (RALP) to Ontario farmers. The next intake for the RALP program opens June 3, 2024.

Farmers who are interested in learning more about the program can participate in this virtual information session co-hosted by OSCIA and EFAO. The first half of this session will provide an overview of the program, with time for questions. The second half will walk through the application process in detail. You’re invited to participate in as much of the info session as you would like to attend.
