Vancouver residents will be growing more local food in 2017 and 2018 as the Village Vancouver Transition Society begins their “Building Community Food Security and Resilience” project.

Cauli Crumble by Big Mountain Foods, a family-owned B.C. food processing business, is one of 36 new projects receiving more than $2.3 million in funding going towards a range of innovative projects in British Columbia’s agrifood sector.

The bustling city of Vancouver is bringing new, diverse flavours to the agrifood industry every single day, giving British Columbians the opportunity to ignite their taste buds and experience Vancouver’s buffet that’s making it a leader in agrifood innovation.

Vancouver-False Creek MLA Sam Sullivan joined Shaun and Sonia Strobel, co-founder's of Skipper Otto's Community Supported Fishery, dockside in Vancouver to announce the provincial government’s Buy Local Program is providing the company $20,000. These funds will be used to promote the quality of B.C. seafood throughout the province and encourage British Columbians to buy local.

Agrifoods processors met with the federal and provincial governments to discuss skilled-labour initiatives and human-resource planning, as part of a series of roundtables being held over coming months with sectors highlighted in the BC Jobs Plan.

B.C. families who use food banks, charities and school lunch programs will now have further access to fresh, healthy, and local food that has been donated by their neighbours in the B.C. agrifood sector.

Calling all gardening enthusiasts! Get ready to dig and ‘PlantSomethingBC’.

British Columbia’s agrifood and seafood leaders joined Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick for the launch of a comprehensive plan to increase overall sector revenues to $15 billion per year by 2020.
