Food System Planning Knowledge Brief Released

February 19, 2015

The RDI has just released a six page summary of the recurring themes, related issues and similar recommendations found in the three recent agricultural plans of the Columbia Basin-Boundary Region.

The Regional District of East Kootenay completed their agricultural plan this fall, and both the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary and Regional District of Central Kootenay completed plans in 2011. These three plans identify many common information gaps and challenges faced by farmers and the agriculture industry, and also recognize common opportunities to improve the local food system. This paper is intended for local politicians, economic development officers, planners, funders and anyone else who might be interested in an effort to assist and promote the most common and highest priority actions in the plans.

This paper is part of the food systems research project recently launched by the RDI, with funding support from the Real Estate Foundation of BC. The project examines how food production could be increased in environmentally, economically, culturally and socially sustainable ways.
