Premier David Eby says the funding will go toward adding infrastructure to food banks and to improve overall food production and access
British Columbia is dedicating $200 million toward boosting both the province’s food bank system and overall agricultural production and resiliency.
Part of the money will be used to enhance programs to strengthen the food supply chain; expand food production from processors, packers and retailers; and fund climate preparedness measures. The funding is part of the province’s plan to spend B.C.’s massive surplus, estimated last fall at more than $5 billion.
“So, in 2023, the security of our food has never been more top of mind, certainly for us as government and for British Columbians,” Eby says. “That’s a good thing, because it really underscores the importance that we’ve placed on this issue as government since Day 1.”
