Field Days with Southern Irrigation: Through this series of irrigation field days and workshops with Southern Irrigation, the Ministry of Agriculture and Food strives to empower British Columbia's farmers and ranchers with the knowledge and tools to implement efficient irrigation practices in their operations. With hands-on demonstrations, expert guidance, and knowledge-sharing, we aim to foster a culture of water stewardship across diverse agricultural sectors. This includes equipping producers with strategies and technologies that strengthen farm resilience. Ultimately, our mission is to contribute to a climate-ready and water-wise future for agriculture in B.C.
