What is the future of farming and farmland protection in Ontario?
That was the question that almost 130 planners, councillors, students, and academics presented and discussed on March 30th in Orillia, Ontario, at the 2017 Farmland Forum. Together, we discussed Ontario’s future through a wide variety of topics, such as drawing experience from the Oregon State Department’s work in agricultural land protection, examining shifting trends in farmland ownership, and exploring Indigenous perspectives on farming and farmland preservation.
Thank you to our attendees and presenters, you made this annual event a success!
