Guide to Agricultural Land Use - Publication 824

Agriculture is fundamental to Ontario’s economy. But it is much more than an economic activity. Farmers are stewards of Ontario’s countryside and provide us with the option of buying locally produced food.

Based on the recognition of agriculture’s role and contribution, our land use policies and planning make as much productive land available for farming as possible.

The Guide to Agricultural Land Use introduces issues that may arise between people engaged in agriculture and those engaged in other land uses in the Ontario countryside. It explains the role of agricultural land use planning. For rural non-farm residents, it provides an overview of agricultural practices and how to minimize their environmental impacts.

The guide also advises the rural community — both farm and non-farm residents — on conflict avoidance and resolution.
