The Territorial Agri-food Association will receive a non-repayable contribution of $99,900 (58% of total project costs) to complete a three-year $171,650 project to host the next three annual agricultural conferences, each focusing on different and important entrepreneurial benefits of micro businesses in the north in the agri-food sector, as well as revamping their website to include broader knowledge dissemination. Additionally, they will mobilize and disseminate the information developed and shared at the annual conference beyond those in attendance to ensure broader access by traveling around the NWT to regional centers and sharing this information, along with access to their website and resources that are created/updated prior to the GROW NWT conference.
