Policy Forum:  Agricultural Land Use Planning in the Lower Mainland, BC
April 3, 2019

We are inviting a small group of professionals who are practising in the field of agricultural land use planning including representatives from the Ministry of Agriculture (AGRI), Agricultural Land Commission (ALC), municipalities and regional districts, educational institutions, consulting firms, and others.

WHAT WILL WE TALK ABOUT AT THE FORUM?
The policy forum will have the following three components:

• AgLUP in the Lower Mainland:  A Provincial Perspective

The first session of the day will be co-led by the Agricultural Land Commission and the BC Ministry of Agriculture who will lead a discussion about current AgLUP issues in the Lower Mainland from a provincial perspective.

• AgLUP in Metro Vancouver

The regional district session aims to build capacity and enhance understanding of the policies impacting agricultural land use in BC’s largest metropolitan region, while at the same time, receive input on topics to address in the Metro 2040 Agricultural Policy Review.

• BC AgLUP Policy Lab

The day will conclude with a discussion about establishing a policy lab on AgLUP in BC.  How might the lab best serve AgLUP in BC: structure, content, format, and frequency?
 
WHO IS ORGANISING THE POLICY FORUM AND POLICY LAB?
The policy forum on April 3, 2019, is co-hosted by David Connell, Associate Professor, University of Northern British Columbia, and Metro Vancouver.
