Agricultural Land Use Inventory Projects

In 1996, the Ministry undertook an agricultural GIS pilot project with the District of Pitt Meadows.  The purpose of the pilot was to consider the information and tools needed to promote and plan for agriculture using GIS.         

Since the success of the pilot project, the Ministry has supported land use inventory and GIS work in various jurisdictions. In several areas, land use inventory work has been conducted in multiple years, allowing for comparisons over time.
