It is a pleasure to once again provide this annual message to Delta Optimist readers and reflect on a busy year in B.C. agriculture.
The B.C. government has brought in legislation that solidifies the Agricultural Land Commission’s independence and to ensure it has the modern tools to continue making independent land decisions, help farmers grow their businesses and support food production for future generations.
We completed an extensive consultation process with over 100 organizations and as direct result of this consultation, we established regulations that provide opportunities for farmers to earn new dollars, in both the local and export markets. I want to assure Delta farmers the new regulations preserve farmland and encourage agriculture..
