“The Ontario Federation of Agriculture says the province is facing an increase in the rate of farmland loss as urban sprawl swallows up land previously used for growing.

The farmer-led organization called on municipal governments and the province Saturday to better protect farmland and food production when planning new housing developments.

Data from the 2021 Census of Agriculture shows Ontario is losing 319 acres of farmland daily, equal to the loss of one average family farm.”
