Farmland Protection and Policy: An Introduction

Join the Ontario Farmland Trust’s Executive Director, Martin Straathof, and Board Chair, Margaret Walton, for an accessible introduction to municipal planning processes and farmland protection policies. Participants will gain a foundational understanding of how municipal decisions impact farmland, what tools exist to influence those decisions, and which levels of government and departments are responsible for decisions affecting farmland.

Join the Ontario Farmland Trust in a series of free online webinars to explore pressures on farmland, learn about solutions, and share innovative ideas. There will be a new topic each month, and we will be joined by professionals from across Ontario, including land-use planners, lawyers, conservation organizations, and more. Join us over your lunch break from the comfort of your home, field or office.
