Do I need to be exclusively a agriculture business to qualify?

No — programs are tagged by what the funded work involves, not by what your business does exclusively. If part of your activity is agriculture, those rows generally apply to that part, and they stack with the regional and type-based programs listed elsewhere on this site.

Does a program appearing on this agriculture funding list mean my business is eligible?

No — appearing on this agriculture funding list is not an eligibility decision, and every funder applies its own criteria. Happly checks your business against each of these 150 programs and tells you which you actually match, before you spend time on an application.
