Province expands extreme weather funding program to include beekeepers, pot growers
There’s a new, expanded round of provincial funding for farmers and ranchers to help strengthen their resilience to extreme weather.
The program will potentially fund up to $2.5 million in projects, up from $1.4 million last year. The application process has started and will end June 14. “Climate change and extreme weather pose an array of challenges for people throughout British Columbia, including our farmers, ranchers and food producers,” said Pam Alexis, Minister of Agriculture and Food. “It is important that we support them with programs like this so they can be more resilient to the impacts of climate change and better protect their livelihoods, while ensuring we have a stable, sustainable food supply.
