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:

B.C.’s Food Security Task Force has provided recommendations to government outlining new ways to use technology and innovation to strengthen B.C.’s economy and the agriculture sector, today and for generations to come.

More B.C. ingredients are coming to the nearly five million meals served in hospitals and care facilities in Fraser Health, resulting in more local food for people and expanding an important market for B.C. farmers, ranchers and food processors.

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.
