Checking in on the BC Food Hub Network
In 2019 BC's Ministry of Agriculture & Food launched the BC Food Hub Network, a major component of which was significant funding for new food hubs in the province.
This episode, a couple of conversations with people for whom Life Is Food Hubs; the rest being Just Details.
Sarah-Patricia Breen is the BC Regional Innovation Chair in Rural Economic Development at Selkirk Innovates, the applied research department of Selkirk College.
Lindsay Harris and Kent Fawcett work for the Kamloops Food Policy Council; Lindsay is their Food Policy Implementation Lead and Kent Manages a food hub called The Stir.
With these guests, I'll explore how the BC Food Hub Network came to be and whether it's currently living up to its promises and potential.
