Webinar: Farmers - Lessons Learned During COVID-19 Pandemic

From labour shortages to supply chain delays, COVID-19 has ushered in a host of new challenges for B.C. farmers. How are farmers responding to the day-to-day disruptions caused by pandemic? As food insecurity becomes tangible for many British Columbians, how might farmers use this current crisis as an opportunity to reinvent the agricultural sector?

Join Nadia Mori, Regional Agrologist with the B.C. Ministry of Agriculture, Eric Gerbrandt, Research Director for the BC Blueberry Council, Raspberry Industry Development Council, and BC Strawberry Grower’s Association, and Leo Quik, Chair of BC Young Farmers, as they explore the lessons learned by farmers during the COVID-19 pandemic.

UBC’s Vancouver Point Grey campus is situated on the traditional, ancestral, unceded territory of the Musqueam people. We would also like to acknowledge that participants will be joining us from many places, near and far, and we acknowledge the traditional owners and caretakers of those lands.
