SUMMARY:Hearing Farmer Voices: A virtual town hall for farmers in BC
DESCRIPTION:A virtual town hall meeting to hear farmers’ thoughts on the recommendations of the Premier’s Task Force on Agriculture and Food Economy. \n\n\n\nHow can we use these recommendations to help us build food sovereignty in BC? \n\n\n\nNFU BC invites all farmers and advocates for resilient food systems to join us and share your thoughts. We are a democratic organization of farmers and farmworkers advancing policies that enable food sovereignty. Food sovereignty is\, in short\, food systems by the people\, for the people. If you have a role in feeding our communities\, we want to hear from you. We believe that everyone who grows and eats food deserves to have a say in shaping their food systems. \n\n\n\nWhen the president of the United States started announcing tariffs on Canadian goods and threats of annexation in early 2025\, the BC government responded by assembling a team of experts and sector representatives to provide guidance on how the province should navigate the shifting political and economic landscape. The Premier’s Task Force on Agriculture and Food Economy produced 32 recommendations on 5 key topics: Water\, Competitiveness\, Labour and talent\, Land\, and Investment. \n\n\n\nRead the recommendations here: https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/industry/agriculture-seafood/premier-s-task-force-on-agriculture-and-food-economy \n\n\n\nAcross ministries\, the provincial government will be using these recommendations to guide action on strengthening BC’s food systems. We have an opportunity to work together and influence how some of these recommendations are implemented\, and to use this list as a jumping off point to define our own food sovereignty goals. \n\n\n\n\nRegister Today!
