There is a trend towards growing more estates than food on our farmlands in the Capital Region. The goal of the Farmlands Project is to bring people in the community, the private sector, government, academic institutions and other authorities together to spark discussion, problem solve, and work on tools, strategies, and collaborative actions that will make agricultural land accessible to farmers and put land back into production–today and into the future.

A project ensuring the viability and accessibility
of farmlands for food production in BC’s Capital Region


More people are looking to 'buy local,' and yet much of our farmland is being used to grow estates rather than food. This project will look at the challenges facing our farmlands and farmers and explore the models, ideas, tools and strategies being used throughout the region to address these challenges.
