Under Pressure: Land Use in the Fraser Valley

Housing, agriculture, industry, commercial and other uses exert multiple pressures on dwindling land resources. Event open for everyone! #ScienceCafé

Dr. Lenore Newman, Director, Food & Agriculture Institute, Research Chair, Food & Agriculture Innovation:
“Conflicting land uses create a lot of challenge in our region as we have a growing population and very little land. In this talk I discuss UFVs emerging one health hub and look at how it provides a new tool for examining the consequences of land use conflict.”

Jason Lum, Chilliwack City Councillor, One of UFV’s 50 Remarkable Alumni

Jason Lum will discuss balancing policy pressures with competing land use demands. “From sustainability to development, I will explore strategies and trade-offs in managing land amid growing environmental and economic challenges.”
