BC Agricultural Regions

Agricultural regions are defined by the Government of BC's classification, which is based on distinct characteristics and growing conditions. Please note that this general classification of conventional agriculture may not fully represent the production of smaller organic and regenerative farms in a region, as these farms tend to be more diverse in their production.
