“…Canada's Environmental Farm Plan (EFP) Program is a long-term partnership between farm organizations and the Canadian federal and Ontario and other provincial governments based on a voluntary, self-administered educational and risk assessment approach (Ontario Farm Environment Coalition, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada & Ontario Ministry of Agriculture Food and Rural Affairs, 2013;Summers, Plummer, & FitzGibbon, 2008;Plummer, Speirs, A., Summers, R. & FitzGibbon, 2007;Robinson, 2006a, b). The EFP began as a proposal from farm organizations in 1992 (Ontario Farm Ontario Farm Environment Coalition, 1992) and was developed through a consensus-based process supported by the Canadian and Ontario governments (Smith, 2015;Robinson, 2006a, b). EFP has evolved over time (Morrison and FitzGibbon, 2014), spreading across Canada and continues today under the 2018-2023 Canadian Agricultural Partnership framework (Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and Ministry of Agriculture Food and Rural Affairs, 2018).…”
