SurveyMonkey Powered Online Survey

An Agricultural Area Plan focuses on practical solutions to strengthen farming for the community's long-term sustainability.

Through public consultation, an agriculture area plan was identified as a priority of the Sustainable Kamloops Plan.

The City has secured funding from the Investment Agriculture Foundation to develop an Agriculture Area Plan. For more information, please visit www.kamloops.ca/sustainable.

We value your input and experiences as producers in Kamloops. If you own a food producing business (ie. farm, CSA, ranch, orchard etc.) We encourage you to complete this survey in addition to the Consumer Survey.

Your responses will help us gain preliminary public input toward the development of an Agriculture Area Plan for the City of Kamloops.
