The Canada – British Columbia Environmental Farm Planning Program encourages producers to develop farm plans, implement beneficial management practices and continuously evaluate their environmental performance.
Working together under the Agricultural Policy Framework, governments and industry are looking to accelerate efforts to reduce agricultural risks and provide benefits to Canada’s water, soil, air and biodiversity resources. Environmental farm planning is the foundation of that approach. It is a voluntary process that producers can use to identify both environmental strengths and any potential risks on their farms.
Launched in 2003, this program is a partnership between Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC), the BC Ministry of Agriculture and Lands (BCMAL) and the BC Agriculture Council (BCAC). Program funds are delivered through the Foundation.
