Introducing the Abbotsford Food Charter! ![]()

The Archway Food Justice program, alongside the City of Abbotsford’s Abbotsford ACCESS, Fraser Health, UFV’s Food & Agriculture Institute, and the Abbotsford School District, is proud to launch a new community-driven vision for our local food system. ![]()
