Farms at Work has been closely following the progress of Bill 36 [1] (the Local Food Act bill [2]) and we've participated with several partners across the province in crafting proposals for amendament that will benefit local farmers growing food for our regional and provincial marketplace.
Recently a new amendment to the bill was passed that will create a tax credit for farmers who donate parts of their harvest to food banks, which will increase access to fresh food across the province. Have a look at the media release below for more details.
