Department of Agriculture

The Department of Agriculture helps support and grow agriculture and agri-food throughout the province. We develop programs, services and polices to help farming in rural and urban communities be more competitive, sustainable and profitable.

The department works with farmers, community groups and partners to help increase the province’s food supply and improve food security. We also promote the importance of buying local and help consumers find local farms, food and beverage producers and products.
