The NFU-O continues to support, in principle, expanding the Greenbelt to protect water for drinking and agricultural purposes, ecosystem health and climate change mitigation. In 2020, the government pledged to continue to expand the Greenbelt and is now looking for public consultation. 


In this short survey, the NFU-O is seeking input from members and allies to prepare a statement that reflects the needs and perspectives of the agricultural community. 

If you wish to connect with the NFU-O directly about the Greenbelt expansion, please contact paige@nfuontario.ca.
