Excerpt:
As buying local takes on a sharper focus across Greater Victoria, FED Urban Agriculture is among those with hyper-local options, while supporting food security in the region.
With 1.1 per cent of B.C.’s population working as farm operators, 79 per cent of fruits and 63 per cent of vegetables consumed in B.C. are imported, predominantly from the U.S. and Mexico, the agency noted in a news release.
In 2024, the charity grew over 7,400 pounds of hyper-local food in the heart of Victoria, addressing growing concerns over food security. The agency also donated 800 pounds of fresh produce to those in need and fed 54 families through its Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program.
The organization’s main growing space – FED Urban Farm acquired last year – has quickly become a hub for community engagement. The farm hosted 38 tours for local non-profits, schools, and businesses last year, and engaged more than 850 community members through educational and team-building initiatives.
