Bill 66: Agriculture Expansion Strategy Act

This bill primarily affects farmers, growers, and agricultural producers operating in Nova Scotia — from small family farms to larger operations producing crops, livestock, or specialty goods. The strategy is meant to open up new markets, both within Nova Scotia and through interprovincial and international export channels, which could directly affect how producers plan their output, pricing, and distribution. Businesses in food processing, agri-supply, and rural co-operatives may also be touched as the government identifies actions to boost local demand. The monthly public progress updates mean producers can track whether promised government support — such as market access programs or promotional initiatives — is actually being delivered.
