Food hubs provide shared spaces and supports for local food processors and contribute to food security: B.C. government
The City of Richmond is creating a food hub to support local farmers, fishers, producers and processors in the Lower Mainland.
Richmond’s new hub will be the 14th one in the B.C.-wide network of food hubs catering to the unique needs of each community and region. “Food hubs provide not only equipment and space, but also education and training to make it easier for enthusiastic growers, fishers and producers to navigate food-safety requirements and other regulations,” said Baxter.
The city has received $1 million from the provincial government to fund the creation of the hub and will be spending the next 18 months researching and planning for the facility, including finding a location and deciding what the hub will look like.
