Moratorium: Getting responses</h2>
<br>
The Food & Water First request for a 10-year moratorium on new rezoning applications involving Class 1 farmland is yielding some answers. Ontario's Agriculture Minister, Jeff Leal, has responded and, while he doesn't acknowledge the moratorium proposal in his letter, he does say the government recognizes the importance of Ontario's farmland and is "committed to protecting it for future generations."<br>
<br>
The promised Farms Forever program is also addressed, though there are no details. <br>
<br>
<em><strong>While we are in the very early stages of developing this initiative, the program's goals are to help preserve the productive capacity of agricultural lands close to urban centres, support the local sourcing of food, strengthen Ontario's agri-food sector and support young farmers.</strong></em><br>
<br>
Two of our supporters in Midhurst received this reply from Interim PC leader Jim Wilson: <br>
<br>
<em><strong style="color: #222222;font-family: calibri,sans-serif;font-size: 14.6666669845581px;line-height: normal;"> I share the serious concern that the current government fails to understand the importance of preserving prime agriculture land and supporting Ontario's rural jobs and communities. For example, there is the government approval of non-agricultural projects like industrial wind turbines on some of our best agricultural land. I am sharing your proposal with MPP Toby Barrett, the Ontario PC Critic for Agriculture, for debate and consideration among our caucus colleagues. Your input is very much appreciated. </strong></em><br>

<br>
<span style="line-height:1.6em">Pennsylvania has been doing it since 1988. New York State does it, as well. And now New Jersey is busy protecting its prime farmland for food production. Since 2006, New Jersey has protected 6,500 acres of its best agricultural soil. (That's the same amount of land once owned by the Highland Companies for its proposed mega quarry.)<br>
<br>
Take a look at New Jersey's latest farmland preservation announcement: <br>

Will a highway run through it?</h2>
<br>
Looks like it. Agriculture Minister Jeff Leal was in the county of Peterborough this month, touting the value and impact of Ontario's $34-billion agri-food sector. But he also announced that an extension of highway 407 will devour 3,000-acres of prime farmland. <a href="http://foodandwaterfirst.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9cff2b25f9f35517c6d561caf&id=999b7ff912&e=f78c3eb051" target="_blank" style="color: #86af00;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;word-wrap: break-word !important;">Peterborough Examiner</a>

Our partners with Citizens Against Melrose Quarry (CAMQ) are making headlines in the Kingston area over their battle to protect local groundwater. They're concerned about the expansion of a quarry, the pumping of million of litres of fresh water each day and the impact on their water resources. CKWS covered their campaign. Note the familiar lawn signs! <strong><a href="http://foodandwaterfirst.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9cff2b25f9f35517c6d561caf&id=6aae27156b&e=f78c3eb051" target="_blank" style="color: #86af00;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;word-wrap: break-word !important;">CKWS: Rural residents work to pull the plug on quarry extension</a></strong>

In the summer of 2013, Bill "Father Goose" Lishman piloted his famous ultralight from the Pickering Lands in Durham region to Melancthon Township. He symbolically connected the two great parcels of Class 1 soil with that remarkable flight. The Food & Water First message was emblazoned on his wings. <br>

Bill is embarking on a new adventure and we hope you can help him reach his destination. He's producing a book about the Oak Ridges Moraine and crowdfunding in order to publish it.

Greenbelt Town Hall</h1>
<br>

<br>
Hundreds of people converged on the village of Brougham last week to show their support for Ontario's Greenbelt. 7,000 square kilometres of farmland, forests and water resources are home to nearly one-half of the province's fruit farms and one-fifth of its vegetable farms. Yet, as the Greenbelt faces a provincial review this year, it is also facing the threat of being eroded. The <a href="http://foodandwaterfirst.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9cff2b25f9f35517c6d561caf&id=408ce71bb4&e=f78c3eb051" target="_blank" style="color: #86af00;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;word-wrap: break-word !important;">Globe and Mail </a>published an article this month dismissing the Greenbelt and suggesting farmland protection leads to higher housing prices. It also falsely stated "There's no scarcity of agricultural land in southern Ontario." A quick Google search would have revealed this fact sheet from <a href="http://foodandwaterfirst.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9cff2b25f9f35517c6d561caf&id=344dcba277&e=f78c3eb051" target="_blank" style="color: #86af00;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;word-wrap: break-word !important;">Ontario Farmland Trust. </a><br>
<br>
The Greenbelt Town Hall heard from experts and advocates. "Economic development doesn't need Clas 1 farmland, but farmers do," said Mary Delaney of Land Over Landings. Faisal Moola of the David Suzuki Foundation told the crowd Ontario's true wealth "is in the bank of farmland, water and the environment." The key, of course, is protecting what's in this well-stocked bank.<br>

This eloquent observation sums up the role of soils in our daily lives. And it's just one of the many astonishing facts about soil in a terrific article in the publication Soil Horizons. For example: There are more organisms in one tablespoon of healthy soil than there are people on Earth. Read the article here:<br>

It's going to be a few months before the snow melts and we're able to wiggle our toes in the garden, but these short videos will tide us over until then. They're made by US scientists who are embracing the International Year of Soils. It appears the Soil Science Society of America is going to release one every month. Enjoy!<br>
