“At a time when Trump’s tariffs threaten Ontario’s economy, we must protect our defining economic advantage; our $50 billion food and farming sector.”
A Message from Ontario’s Green Party

This week is Local Food Week in Ontario – a time to celebrate the hardworking farmers who bring fresh, local, Ontario food to communities across the province.
But every day, under the Ford government, Ontario loses 319 acres of farmland in Ontario every day.

The Ontario Greens know that food is our future, and without farmland, we have no future.
That’s why we introduced the Protect Our Food Act to create a Foodbelt that would permanently protect our agricultural lands from being paved over.
At a time when Trump’s tariffs threaten Ontario’s economy, we must protect our defining economic advantage; our $50 billion food and farming sector — [but we need your help](https://secure.gpo.ca/civicrm/mailing/url?u=211545&qid=123434874).
This Local Food Week, let’s work together to protect Ontario’s farmland, and create a foodbelt for the future.
