Farm land is too valuable to be used and broken into patches for housing. Housing must be placed in the urban area, close to shops, medical staff/facilities, schools and amenities...long drives for these offers are not welcome especially in winter.
Create policies that strengthen keeping farmland and farms and make sure that young people who want to farm have a choice of farming rather than urbanization which makes it too expensive for young people to buy.
I want food produced in Ontario, not shipped in by air from California, China, and other far off places; think of the future when another pandemic hits...we need access to local farm markets with local goods to eat. Make policies encouraging farmers to stay on the land.
