Value chain innovation service

Launched in June 2021, the Value Chain Innovation Service (PDF, 1.2 MB) activates and helps expand demand-driven business opportunities for B.C. food and beverage products in B.C. public institutions and beyond. 

This new Ministry service is currently focused on supporting Feed BC, a provincial government initiative that encourages, inspires, and supports a shift to more B.C. food in hospitals, care facilities, public post-secondary institutions, other public sector facilities and programs, and beyond.
