The government continues to support the sector through the AgroInnovation program, funding research into sustainable farming, biological plant protection, and carbon footprint reduction. $220 million was allocated for these purposes in 2024.
Particular attention is being paid to soil conservation. More and more farmers are switching to no-till farming, which reduces erosion and increases soil organic carbon. According to the Ministry of Agriculture, 68% of prairie cropland already uses this method.
Despite this success, experts warn that climate change remains the main risk. The increasing frequency of extreme weather events requires further adaptation—both technological and institutional.
Nevertheless, 2024 has become a shining example of how the combination of natural conditions, technology, and government support can ensure food security and sustainable export potential.
