Agricultural Land Commission

The Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) is a government agency responsible for preserving and protecting agricultural land in British Columbia, Canada. Its primary role is to ensure that valuable farmland remains available for farming activities and is not developed for other use. The ALC reviews proposals to divide or develop agricultural land, balancing the need for development with the importance of maintaining food production and rural communities. By setting policies and guidelines, the commission helps sustain a healthy agricultural sector and promotes responsible land use planning.
