VIU Food Services is proud to be a Feed BC partner.
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.
Through Feed BC, the Ministry works across government and with public sector, industry, and agriculture
sector partners
to:
- Increase awareness and demand for B.C. food products in public institutions and beyond;
- Support the capacity and market-readiness of B.C. food and beverage producers and processors;
- Grow ‘value chain’ innovation and supply chain solutions to connect B.C. demand with B.C. foods; and
- Measure, report on and promote Feed BC progress and partnerships.
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.
