Food and Farming: An Action Plan 2021, launched by the Greater Toronto Area Agricultural Action Committee and its partners, the City of Hamilton and the Region of Niagara, provides five broad strategies and numerous specific actions to revitalize the area’s food and farming cluster which contributes $12.3 billion to the provincial economy.
The Action Plan outlines the 10-year vision for the Golden Horseshoe food and farming cluster and addresses the serious challenges impeding its growth, including multiple and conflicting government policies and regulations, rising fuel costs, a lack of integration, urbanization, competition for land, gaps in infrastructure and traffic congestion.
