Regional Foodlands Access Bylaw Approved
The Capital Regional District (CRD) Board has approved the bylaw to establish the Regional Foodlands Access Service.
Food and agriculture are part of a larger interconnected system that includes planting, irrigation, harvesting, processing, distributing, preparing, marketing and consumption. Managing food waste, soil nutrients, wildlife and invasive species are also integral to the food and agriculture system.
Local food and agricultural production systems face many challenges, including the loss of farmland, cost of farm operation, age of farmers, and food prices.
A viable and resilient local food and agriculture system is important to the capital region's sustainability. You can learn more about how the CRD contributes to sustainability by visiting our environment page.
