Working for B.C.'s farmers and ranchers.
BC Agriculture Council is the lead industry advocate for key sector-wide priorities in British Columbia.

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.
