An EFP helps you look at your entire farm—from water to grazing to fuel storage—and understand where small changes can make a big difference.

Producers use an EFP to:

• Improve water protection and dugout management

• Strengthen grazing and manure management practices

• Review fuel, chemical, and shop storage

• Identify soil, biodiversity, and waste risks

• Reduce long-term costs and improve efficiency

• Prepare for funding opportunities and cost-share programs

• It’s free and takes only a few hours to complete with support.

• It provides a clear roadmap for improvements over time.

• Many funding programs increasingly ask for, or prefer, an updated EFP.

• It’s a simple way to make sure your farm is managing environmental risks well.

Your plan is your eyes only—no information is shared without your permission.

1. Create your online EFP account
   Get started at: https://www.albertaefp.com
   (If you already created an account, perfect, you’re halfway there.)

2. Book your appointment
   Meet one-on-one with your local technician, either in person or online.

3. Work through key sections
   We guide you through the first pieces and help with any sections you’ve paused on.

4. Review and finalize
   When you’re ready, your technician reviews your plan and submits it for final approval.

5. Put your plan into action
   Use your EFP to guide improvements and prepare for grants.

Your EFP is fully confidential.
Everything you enter stays between you and your technician. No information is shared without your permission.
