Housing development is one of the biggest industries going right now in this province, and with that comes more and more demand to develop more of Ontario's agriculture and green belt lands. Who knows how many farms are being bought up as I type this by developers and international buyers - and it's not to grow crops or raise livestock. More houses, more people, less agriculture, less food. How is this pattern sustainable? 

Farms used to be used to raise cows, now they are cash cows for farmers. They may "own" the land, but in the broad view, they are merely stewards of what is a very finite resource here on this planet that kind of has to last us a long time.
