Had gov. branded the Greenbelt as the "Foodbelt" back when Ontario established it, they might have had more success protecting it. Some of the best farmland in North America has been paved over for the GTA.

Tell Doug Ford to support Protect Our Food Act to secure Ontario’s food sovereignty. Each day Ontario loses 319 acres (9 family farms) of irreplaceable farmland, due to pressure from developer interests & land speculation. Once that soil is paved over, it’s gone forever.

Every day we’re losing 319 acres of farmland in Ontario. That means that every week Ontario loses the equivalent of nine family farms. The cause? Urban sprawl, aggregate mining…
