Bonus: Ag Minister Popham on Water, the ALR, & the role of Buy BC

This is a bonus episode featuring a segment of my recent interview with BC's Agriculture & Food Minister Lana Popham that won't be included in next week's episode featuring her reflection on the 2025 Farming Year. Herein, I ask the Minister if Buy BC should get cheeky with our grocery sector oligopoly, whether her ministry plans to address the massive water license application backlog, and why Farm Status on ALR land is so easy to obtain.In this segment, we reference the 2025 Premier's Task Force on Agriculture & Food Economy, which recently completed its work and released its recommendations.
