About Us

The Golden Horseshoe Food and Farming Alliance (GHFFA) is a partnership between the regional municipalities and Federations of Agriculture in Niagara, Peel, Halton, York, and Durham, and the cities of Hamilton and Toronto, Conservation Authorities, the Greenbelt Fund, Durham College and Niagara College, the Holland Marsh Growers and members of the food industry. In 2020, the GHFFA released their 5-year Golden Horseshoe Food and Farming Action Plan, which identifies pathways for a more integrated and coordinated approach to food and farming viability in the area to ensure that the Golden Horseshoe retains, enhances and expands its role as a leading food and farming cluster.
