Agriculture is obviously hugely important. It's also complicated. Food security. Healthy eating. Attracting and employing young people. Nurturing rural lifestyles. Protecting scarce agricultural lands.
These are all areas of vital importance for most rural communities. We're striving to showcase some of the outstanding work being done in this sector, here in British Columbia, across Canada, and around the world.
