Supporting Indigenous Nations, communities, businesses, and organizations to increase Indigenous participation in agriculture, seafood, food processing and related community economic development initiatives.

The Indigenous Food Systems and Agriculture Skills and Training Program (ISAT) is a multi-year program under the Agriculture and Food Workforce Development Initiative (AWDI). AWDI is funded by the Ministry of Social Development and Poverty Reduction through the Canada-British Columbia Labour Market Agreement. The initiative is a $15M fund designed to support BC’s agriculture industry to provide a stable and increasing food supply through targeted efforts to recruit and retain a sufficient workforce to meet the labour needs of the industry. AWDI is delivered by the Investment Agriculture Foundation of BC (IAF).
