Jun. 27, 2013, Guelph, ON - The Agricultural Adaptation Council (AAC) is now accepting applications from Ontario organizations and collaborations that want to put innovative ideas into action by growing profits, expanding markets and managing risk under Growing Forward 2 (GF2).
 
GF2 offers funding assistance for:
