RRC Podcast – S2E4 – BC Agriculture and Food Minister Lana Popham
byRRC soundbites

In this episode of the Rural Roots Canada podcast, we do a quick review of the conferences we’ve attended in the last few weeks. Then, host Tim Parent sits down for a one-on-one conversation with BC Agriculture and Food Minister Lana Popham. The two discuss some of the most pressing issues facing British Columbia’s farmers and producers – from the recent federal job cuts at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (3:17) to the impact of new trade developments with China (5:30), and how climate change, drought, and flooding continue to shape the province’s agricultural landscape (15:58). Minister Popham also shares her outlook for the 2026 growing season and the steps being taken to strengthen food security, support innovation, and ensure resilience across BC’s ag sector (23:41).
