OFA supports the inclusion of a simplified methodology in the updated Projection Methodology Guideline and appreciates the strong emphasis on intensification. OFA highlights that the projected farmland loss over the 30-year planning horizon underscores the need for fixed urban boundaries and recommends clarifying that prime agricultural areas are not available for urban development. OFA cautions that market trends should not be mistaken for actual needs, supports subtracting rural employment figures from land need forecasts while noting that many farmers also work in urban areas, and calls for stronger attention to housing affordability. Additionally, OFA suggests referencing Provincial Planning Statement policies requiring agricultural impact assessments and endorses transparency as a principle of the guideline.
