Abstract

Farmland in Ontario continues to be under immense pressure from development associated with population growth and urbanization, such as residential subdivisions, commercial developments and aggregate operations. This OMAFRA funded research investigates the strength of the Greenbelt Act in preserving Southern Ontario’s prime agricultural soils by measuring the rate of farmland lost to non-farm land uses from 2000—2017 through official plan amendments. This methodology was applied to 15 counties and regions in southern Ontario and the results provide an assessment on the Greenbelt policy in place. This presentation will report on phase one of this research project (completed) including trends and results from specific jurisdictions and then provide an update on phase two, which extends across the province and is currently underway.

政策中的权力:衡量安大略省的农田损失和测试绿地法案的强度
安大略省的农田继续受到与人口增长和城市化相关的发展的巨大压力,例如住宅细分、商业开发和综合经营。这项由OMAFRA资助的研究调查了《绿地法案》在保护安大略省南部主要农业土壤方面的优势,通过测量2000年至2017年官方计划修正案中非农业用地的农田损失率。该方法应用于安大略省南部的15个县和地区,结果提供了对绿地政策的评估。本报告将报告该研究项目的第一阶段(已完成),包括来自特定司法管辖区的趋势和结果,然后提供第二阶段的最新情况,该阶段扩展到全省,目前正在进行中。
