Let’s Not Sell The Farm Here

Protecting Ontario’s prime agricultural areas is a key provincial interest which provides Ontarians with locally grown food and is a key economic generator as it provides local employment opportunities in the growing, packaging, manufacturing, and distribution industries. Discover why protecting prime agricultural areas is vital for Ontario’s future, how agriculture contributes to the economy, how prime agricultural areas are designated for protection in your Official Plans, and the tools and mechanisms you can use to ensure their long-term protection.
