Budget 2020 moves British Columbia forward by building the infrastructure the growing province needs, supporting thousands of new jobs, strengthening investments in health and education and making life more affordable for everyone.

Beekeepers around the province will be able to apply for the fifth round of Bee BC funding soon, enabling them to launch creative projects in their communities that support the health of bees in British Columbia.

Lana Popham, Minister of Agriculture, has released the following statement celebrating three decades of BC VQA wines:

The Province is proposing more residential flexibility for people living in the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) as outlined in a new policy intentions paper released Jan. 27, 2020, by the Ministry of Agriculture.

B.C. businesses are partnering with the federal and provincial governments to help their businesses grow, produce and pollinate.

Farmers, ranchers and food processors in Yukon and northern B.C. may soon have more local customers, as the two governments connect to build food security and increase the supply and production of local food in the North.

Growers in British Columbia can apply for the next round of Hazelnut Renewal Program funding for the spring planting season, to help replace trees and establish new orchards with disease-resistant varieties.
