Mar 28, 2014 — http://www.timescolonist.com/news/local/new-alr-rules-open-farmland-to-development-1.922692 Lenore Newman, Canada Research Chair in food security at the University of the Fraser Valley, questioned loosening farmland protections at a time when California is in the midst of a severe drought. “Our biggest source of food is California and they’re in a total crisis,” she said. “We’re going to feel that at the grocery store guaranteed this summer. It might not be the best time to be weakening our farmland protection because there is this worry that in the future we could really use this.”
