A Regional Foodlands Access Service is being established to deliver programs that will support agriculture across the region. One of the first initiatives under the new service will seek to support new and expanding farmers by facilitating affordable access to productive farmland. This work delivers on recommendations from the 2019 Regional Foodlands Access Program Feasibility Study, which identified recommendations to help address farmland access and increase local food production across the region.

On February 12, 2025, the CRD Board adopted Bylaw 4602 Regional Foodlands Access Service following electoral approval. Visit Food & Agriculture for the latest information on programs within the service.
