Dec 3 | Future of the Region Sustainability Dialogue, Port Moody
November 25, 2008
Fertile soils, a temperate climate, and access to water make our region’s farmland very productive.
However, some of the region’s farmlands are not productively used and there is continued pressure to convert farmland for transportation and urban development.
How do we increase actively farmed land and sustain the vitality of our farming industry?
Can we improve the local food system?
What strategies can we put into place?
What is the role of the region?
