Earlier this spring, members of the OFA’s board of directors and young farm leaders met with MPPs at Queen’s Park to discuss food and farming in Ontario. We extend our sincere thanks to all ministers and MPPs who engaged with us, exploring how the farming sector can address critical issues like housing, food prices, climate change, jobs and healthcare.
This week the OFA shared its annual June newsletter with MPPs. In this newsletter are highlights from OFA’s day at Queen’s Park, current statistics on the agriculture sector’s impact on the economy and details on key issues that matter to both you and us, including:
- land use, jobs and growth
- Supporting local food
- Investing in physical and social infrastructure.
The OFA would like to congratulate to all MPPs appointed to the new cabinet; we look forward to collaborating with all Ministers, Associate Ministers and Parliamentary Assistants to advance Ontario’s vibrant agriculture industry.
