Working for B.C.'s farmers and ranchers.
BC Agriculture Council is the lead industry advocate for key sector-wide priorities in British Columbia. Our mission is to grow a strong, sustainable and competitive agriculture sector through building industry consensus and advancing public policy. We achieve this by delivering a unified voice for the sector to government through our member farm associations that in turn, represent approximately 96% of provincial farm gate sales in B.C.

"B.C.'s agriculture sector is vital to our economy and provides critical societal benefits such as delivering fresh, local agricultural products and supporting rural communities. Reducing barriers and investing in agriculture will strengthen food security and support our farmers and ranchers' competitiveness moving forward."
