Food security was the focus of the New Brunswick Liberal campaign on Thursday.
Kevin Vickers is promising to boost the Department of Agriculture budget by $5 million.
Speaking on a farm near Grand Falls, Vickers says farmers need support now.
“(We need to) help out the farmer any way we can… teach New Brunswickers the value of the family farm and improving opportunities for people to get into farming… ensuring that there’s cash… fluidity.”
Vickers says investing in agriculture will allow producers in the province to expand their operations.
According to Vickers, the previous Progressive Conservative government has failed farmers and has focused instead on austerity and cuts.
