The Omineca Beetle Action Coalition (OBAC) has retained a study team led by Don Cameron Associates to facilitate the development of an Agriculture Strategy with the input of agriculture stakeholders in the OBAC region.

The Agriculture Strategy is the 8th of 10 priority topic strategies being developed by OBAC. The sector strategies provide recommendations to senior governments, local governments, the private sector, and others on how we can work together to support resilient communities in our region and build a more diverse regional economy.
