Building homes on dwindling farmland is a dangerous path to travel. As it stands, at CURRENT pace of construction on farmland (according to Stats Canada), 25% of our prime farmland will be lost to residences in the next 25 years. And that's at the CURRENT pace of construction.
If you won't listen to the farmers themselves, who are clearly advocating for a stoppage of farmland loss, then just listen to basic logic. Without adequate farmland, this province will be unable to feed itself without imports, and that is also a dangerous prospect.
Please abandon the idea of building residences on farmland in Ontario.
