BC Agriculture Labour Market and Skills Development Initiative (ALMSDI)

The BC Agriculture Labour Market and Skills Development Initiative (ALMSDI) falls under the auspices of the Agri-Food Futures Fund (AFFF). The AFFF is a cost-sharing industry development fund whose goals are the development and sustainability of the agri-food industry in British Columbia.

As all agriculture industries depend to varying degrees on labour, this initiative and the issues it addresses are truly cross-sectoral and are fundamental to sustainability of BC's agri-food industry. This initiative outlines a proactive, responsive approach to achieving long-term agriculture labour market stability. It outlines goals and actions which focus in an integrated manner on the key attributes of the labour market, thereby achieving a balanced approach and laying out a roadmap to stability. This balance is necessary not only to meet the objective of long-term sustainability of the agri-food industry, but also to maintain and enhance BC's competitive ability within the national and international marketplaces.
