Canadian Agricultural Partnership:

The Farm Stewardship Program (FSP) provides Saskatchewan producers funding to implement beneficial management practices (BMPs) in three priority areas – water, climate change and biodiversity.

The FSP focuses on four outcomes:

• Demonstrated improvements on water quality;

• Demonstrated reductions in greenhouse gas emissions;

• Enhanced resilience of the agriculture sector; and

• Biodiversity maintained.

A BMP is defined as any agricultural management practice that:

• Ensures the long-term health and sustainability of land-related resources used for agricultural production;

• Positively impacts the long-term economic and environmental viability of agricultural production; and

• Minimizes negative impacts and risk to the environment.
