Statement

Under David Eby and the NDP, farm employment has fallen 6.4% a year since 2019, the steepest drop of any goods-producing industry in BC. Our realistic food production plan will set a measurable target, starting with 10% less reliance on imported food by 2030.

Overview

Set a binding agricultural benchmark to replace 10% of imported food volume with BC-grown produce and livestock within 4 years.
