While local food grows in importance for the eating public, farmers, the crucial providers of this food continue to experience escalating and cumulative pressures which threaten their very ability to farm: the cost of land, an aging farm community, labour, and a seasonal income base.
What is the future of farming in BC? What innovations will re-establish a bountiful and sustainable food system which supports farmers? Your Local Farmer’s Market Society would like to address these questions in an inspiring, solutions oriented three-part speaker series at the Langley Campus of Kwantlen University College.
