Metro Vancouver Regional Food System Strategy

Metro Vancouver Regional Food System Strategy

(2024 - 2025)

Metro Vancouver contract Upland to update the 2011 Regional Food System Strategy (RFSS). Various events in recent years have underscored the need to re-assess and update Metro Vancouver’s RFSS.

To complete an update to the 2011 RFSS, Upland undertook three phases of work. Phase 1, completed in 2023, focused on background organizational work. Phase 2, largely undertaken in 2024 comprised most of the engagement efforts; and Phase 3, completed in 2025 included hosting the All Sector Forum and preparing the updated RFSS.

The project website is hosted by Metro Vancouver.
