About Feed BC:

Feed BC is a provincial government partnership initiative led by the Ministry of Agriculture and Food, to increase B.C. food in hospitals, residential care facilities, public post-secondary institutions, and other government-supported facilities.

Increasing B.C. food in public institutions:

• Supports jobs and businesses for farmers, fishers, ranchers and food processors across B.C.;
• Builds the provincial food supply and food system resilience;
• Connects patients, residents, students, workers and clients to local food; and
• Supports economic development in all regions of the province.

British Columbia Social Procurement Initiative (BCSPI) brings together local governments and institutions to develop and grow social procurement policies and practices. BCSPI is supported by Buy Social Canada, Scale Collaborative, and Vancouver Island Construction Association.
