Interior Health funds local food security projects
Improving local food systems at the grassroots level.
Interior Health.
Interior Health has recently invested $75,000 to build community food security in communities throughout the Interior region. The Community Food Action Initiative (CFAI) provides single and multi-year grants to support a variety of projects that will increase a community’s ability to influence and contribute to the positive growth and development of their local food system. A local food system strengthens the health of a community, while a healthy community contributes to improving the health of the individuals living in that community. It’s a win-win for everyone.

This holiday season, enjoy B.C.’s abundance.

Minister of Agriculture and Lands.
I always feel very fortunate to live in a spectacular place like British Columbia. The sheer geographic diversity of our province translates into a wide variety of agricultural products, such as fresh produce, tasty seafood, poultry and meat, artisan cheeses and world-class wines.
