A Major Victory in Farmland Protection!

The Ontario Farmland Trust team is thrilled to see that the provincial government has reversed its decision to allow development in the Greenbelt, thereby safeguarding a significant amount of Ontario’s precious agricultural lands for the foreseeable future.

The credit for this win spans the province, shared with the community of farmers, journalists, politicians, fellow conservationists and conservation organizations, and supporters like you. Having your support empowered us as a prominent voice advocating for farmland protection. Thank you.

While we’re excited about this victory, our mission to protect farmland is far from over. There is much more to be done. Fortunately, we can face such upcoming challenges with renewed energy and confidence, knowing that we have a committed community of supporters standing with us.

Together, we are making a truly meaningful impact on the future of our farmlands.

We’ll close with changes and lost efficiencies in food assistance benefits.
