In 2020, the agri-food sector within the 7,200 square kilometres of Greenbelt generated approximately $4.1 billion in GDP. It provided 59,000 jobs and generated $900 million in farm purchases of goods and services in 2017, according to a Greenbelt Foundation report released in February 2022.

This is only one reason to stop this land grab.
We have the most fertile land in the Greenbelt. With climate change and food insecurity, we must make sure this land is for farming of food for our growing population. Otherwise we are at the mercy of food grown in California thousands of miles away in a climate draughtThere

This is foolish to take these precious lands out of our working farmland.
