980 CKNW Original Series: Keep It Local: The Farming Series
Listen to Mornings with Simi July 17 – 21 for the 980 CKNW Original mini-series:
Keep It Local: The Farming Series!
Great food nourishes, unites, comforts, heals and encompasses who we are. It also drives an increasingly important sector of BC’s economy; farming. Each delicious, freshly-picked local fruit or vegetable you enjoy this summer is part of a $4 billion dollar BC Farming industry that employs more than 35,000 British Columbians.
In this special 980 CKNW series, Simi will explore many of the more than 17,000 farms that make up BC’s agriculture and agri-food industry. Organic, female farm operators and the under 35 year old demographic are all on the rise in BC. They will also tackle important issues to the farming community and how the region is reacting.
