Canada, B.C. supporting new and young farmers

New and small-scale farmers will be able to grow their businesses and help strengthen food security in their communities with the launch of the New Entrant Farm Business Accelerator Program.

“Young farmers are the future of Canada’s agriculture and agrifood sectors, and it’s important that we support them,” said Lawrence MacAulay, federal Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food. “Investments through this program will provide more farmers in British Columbia with the tools they need to succeed and contribute to a strong, local food supply.”
