The Yukon Agricultural Association (YAA), through a Yukon Adaptation Committee provides funding for projects designed to encourage growth, stability, employment and a competitive, environmentally sustainable industry for the Yukon's agriculture and agri-food sector and rural communities. Funding is provided to the Council from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada's $60 million per year Canadian Adaptation and Rural Development (CARD) Fund. The Yukon Agriculture Association is a non-profit organization, established for 25 years. It is made up of three chapters covering the Whitehorse, Mayo, and Dawson agricultural areas. The Association has created a separate Adaptation Committee to oversee project approval for CARD. The committee consists of five voting representatives from Dawson City, Mayo, Watson Lake, the Whitehorse area, and Haines Junction, and three ex-officio, non-voting representatives (one from each of the Yukon Agriculture Branch, Department of Renewable Resources; Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada; and the Yukon Agricultural Association). 2, record 4, English, - Yukon%20Agricultural%20Association
