New Entrants Infrastructure Support Program

(2020)

Upland was contracted by the BC Ministry of Agriculture to investigate the possible components for a program that would support New Entrants in implementing infrastructure-based farm projects in order to grow their farm businesses. The report also includes templates for Applicant Eligibility, a Farm Growth Plan, and Project Eligibility.

The objective of this potential New Entrants program would be to provide new and emerging farms the support required to make significant strides in reaching or working towards commercial viability by investing in equipment and infrastructure.
