The Select Standing Committee on Agriculture, Fish and Food, a parliamentary committee of the Legislative Assembly, invites British Columbians to share their thoughts about agricultural soil, carbon sequestration, and related technology in B.C.

“There are a number of practices and technologies that agricultural producers can adopt to improve soil health and carbon capture,” said Rick Glumac, committee chair. “Committee members are interested in hearing about opportunities to increase carbon content in agricultural soils, support B.C.’s agritech sector, and encourage the use of made-in-B.C. innovations.”

Ian Paton, deputy chair, said: “Committee members look forward to hearing from British Columbians, including farmers, ranchers, producers, growers, processors, Indigenous organizations and agritech innovators. What we hear from land stewards and those working in the province’s agricultural sector will inform our recommendations.”

The committee will hold public meetings in November. The meetings will be held virtually by video/teleconference. British Columbians are asked to indicate their interest in speaking with the committee by Friday, Sept. 1, 2023, at 2 p.m. (Pacific time) by completing a form on the committee’s website.

The opportunity to provide written or video input to the committee is available until Nov. 17, 2023.
