ABBOTSFORD — Seven Agritech projects across the Fraser Valley will be getting $4 million in provincial funds as the B.C. government continues to till the soil of its own agricultural industry.
Aldergrove’s Foxy Produce and the C&T Mushroom Farm in Langley yield the largest share of the investment– with each producer receiving more than $1 million due to the scale and complexity of their projects.
C&T Mushroom Farm will test automated cow manure processing to create organic fertilizers and diversify B.C. dairy farms’ revenue streams. Foxy Produce will pilot an advanced air-insulated greenhouse.
“As a farmer and retailer, I witness first-hand the struggles British Columbians face with food security and affordability. It has become my passion to address this issue,” said Joseph Sung, CEO of Foxy Produce Ltd. “[T]his project will enable year-round growing by minimizing energy costs during the cold weather seasons, allowing for continuous and efficient crop production.”
