The Saskatchewan Agri-Environmental Risk Assessment (AERA) is a free self-assessment that helps producers identify agri-environmental risks and opportunities on their farming operations. This assessment provides producers with direction on how to improve their farm’s health and safety, add value to their property, provide a healthy landscape for the next generation, maintain market access, reduce costs and improve competitiveness. Saskatchewan’s AERA includes tools and resources and connects producers with extension specialists in the Ministry of Agriculture’s regional offices for assistance or more information. The following areas are covered under the AERA:
Completing the Saskatchewan AERA is required in order to access program funding for certain programs under the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership (Sustainable CAP) funding suite. For all Beneficial Management Practices (BMPs) under the Resilient Agricultural Landscapes Program, applicants are required to review all the applicable sections of the AERA as a condition to access the program funding. If producers need advice or assistance as they work through the assessment the Ministry of Agriculture’s agri-environmental specialists are available to discuss questions and any other potential BMPs that may be a good fit for their operation.
It is important for Saskatchewan producers to know that Saskatchewan’s AERA is one of several eligible risk assessments for the new federal AgriInvest requirement. For the 2025 program year, producers who have an average allowable net sales for the three preceding program years (2022-2024) equal to, or greater than, $1 million need to have a valid risk assessment in place to receive matching government contributions under the program. The risk assessment must be valid at some point during a producer’s 2025 fiscal year to be eligible for the 2025 program year of AgriInvest. Once a producer completes the Saskatchewan AERA form online an email will be sent advising them their submission is under review. Once validated, the Ministry of Agriculture will issue a certificate within five to seven business days to advise that they now have a valid AERA in place. This certificate will be used for proof of completion for AgriInvest and will remain valid for the duration of the Sustainable CAP agreement until March 31, 2028. AgriInvest clients that meet the new requirements will need to declare that they have a valid AERA through My AAFC Account. For specific questions about AgriInvest or more information about the 2025 program year changes and other eligible risk assessment options, contact Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada at 1-866-367-8506 or visit their website.
For other inquiries on the process of completing your AERA or to connect with a specialist on any of the areas identified in your assessment contact the Agriculture Knowledge Centre at 1-866-457-2377.
