Relief Fund for Atlantic Farmers

Posted by Stephanie Rogers on October 8, 2025 in News
Whether it's wild fires, hurricane season, droughts, or floods, farmers are disproportionately affected by the impacts of climate change.

The Atlantic Canada Organic Regional Network (ACORN) is launching this fundraiser to establish a mutual aid emergency relief fund for farmers impacted by climate change.

Eligible applicants will:

  • be registered farms or farms that operate on a more than subsistence basis
  • practise ecological agriculture
  • not be considered eligible for crop insurance
  • be located in Atlantic Canada

This fund is intended to farmers in crisis or suffering losses due to environmental events (such as drought, flooding, and wildfires) requiring them to re-locate/evacuate, transport or replace goods, tools/equipment, or animals, replace income from crop losses, repair critical infrastructure, seek treatment for injuries or health losses.
