Agri-Food Open for E-Business

Through the [Canadian Agricultural Partnership](https://www.ontario.ca/page/canadian-agricultural-partnership), Canada and Ontario have invested over $3.2 million in the [Agri-Food Open for E-Business program](https://www.ontario.ca/page/agri-food-open-e-business-targeted-intake) to help Ontario’s agri-food sector expand online.

This funding provides businesses with the opportunity to grow their businesses online during the COVID 19 outbreak. It also means families get access to more local options when shopping from home.
The Partnership is a five-year federal-provincial-territorial initiative to strengthen the agriculture, agri-food and agri- products sectors, and increase their competitiveness, prosperity and sustainability.

Use the [map]( https://www.arcgis.com/apps/instant/interactivelegend/index.html?appid=3a6fbe4a42a543e7b28786f336c737cb) or [table]( https://www.ontario.ca/page/map-agri-food-open-e-business) to browse a list of businesses who received funding through the program and to find local food and products near you.
