The British Columbia government is providing funding of up to $25,000 each for 10 communities, so they can work directly with their local residents to help them grow their own food. Grow Local BC, a pilot project, was introduced to Union of British Columbia Municipalities delegates in Victoria.

Some of the Province’s best will be on display for Their Royal Highnesses, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge at the Mission Hill Family Estate Winery for the Taste of British Columbia event – showcasing B.C.’s agrifoods and seafood products.

A new on-line system will help new entrants achieve certified organic status, as B.C. farmers continue to meet the consumer demand for certified organic B.C. foods.

British Columbia’s agrifood and seafood sector has accepted the invitation and the challenge. How can we bolster the province’s food supply security and continue to encourage innovation for the sector?

B.C. food businesses sold more products outside of Canada than ever before in 2015, with exports reaching a record $3.5 billion, and that number is anticipated to grow as the Governments of Canada and British Columbia continue efforts to promote high-quality B.C. food overseas.

The City of Abbotsford is inviting British Columbians to take a tour and discover the local, diverse products being produced in their community. From chicken farmers to egg and dairy distributers, there is a range of local companies providing food for the dinner table.

Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick has issued the following statement in advance of B.C. Farmers Appreciation Week, Sept. 12-18, 2016:

Buying locally grown and produced products is a tradition for many Richmond residents, who have a history of supporting locally sourced agrifoods producers and enjoying the flavours from their own neighbourhoods.
