Two new BC funding programs to help improve traceability in agriculture, agri-food and seafood businesses in BC have been launched.
The Traceability Adoption and Traceability Value Chain programs will be funded under the Canadian Agricultural Partnership (CAP), a federal-provincial-territorial initiative.
