"SAVE OUR FARMLANDS & SECURE OUR FOOD FUTURE"

The Issue

 

URGENT PETITION:

 

"SAVE OUR FARMLANDS & SECURE OUR FOOD FUTURE"

 

Protect Our Ontario Farms and Parks!

 

Did you know? Ontario loses 319 acres of farmland to urban development every day! Our food security and economy are at risk.

 

Sign the petition to demand federal and provincial mandates preserving essential farmland and park areas. Let's stop the destruction of our valuable agricultural resources!

 

Why should you care?

 

    Food security: Preserving farmland ensures access to affordable and fresh locally grown food, promoting healthier communities.

    Economy: The food and farming sector employs over 861,000 people, contributing $46.3 billion to Ontario's economy.

 

With only 5% of Ontario's land suitable for food production and a mere 0.5% classified as prime farmland, we can't afford further losses. The rapid disappearance of 636,000 acres from 2006 to 2011 is unsustainable.

 

Take a stand against urban sprawl and unsustainable development. Sign the petition and share widely to raise awareness. Together, we can make a difference! We need over 2500 signatures to move forward.

 

Sign now to save our farmlands and secure our food future. Act today, before it's too late!
