Canada
New programs were introduced under the Growing Forward initiative that replaces the Agricultural Policy Framework. These programs replace and refine the business risk management programs under the previous framework. An ad hoc payment called Kickstart was also implemented as part of this initiative, being the latest in a series of one-time payments made to agricultural producers since 2000.
