Abbotsford is the largest municipality in BC with a total area of 389 km2 where approximately 75% of the land base is located within the ALR, making agriculture a significant part of the city’s economy and character. Abbotsford is one of the most intensively and diversely farmed areas in Canada, supporting a wide range of crop and livestock productions.   

The agricultural industry is quickly changing and intensifying. Abbotsford farmers are looking to add value to their product to remain competitive by introducing on-farm processing, farm retail, commercial events, and agri-tourism opportunities. This value-added approach incorporates industrial and commercial activities in farming, blurring the lines between rural and urban land uses.
​ 
The city's 2011 Agriculture Strategy provided a vision for the health and growth of agriculture in Abbotsford, with a recommendation for the City to undertake a rural area plan, which AgRefresh aims at addressing in part. Also, the city’s new OCP, adopted in June 2016, provides a high level vision, policies and guidelines to enhance and protect agricultural integrity. The BC Ministry of Agriculture also completed an Agricultural Land Use Inventory in 2012 of agricultural activities in Abbotsford. AgRefresh will build upon this work with a new framework for agricultural planning and compliance.
