Soil is precious. Once it's paved over, it's gone. It takes 500-2000 years to create 1" of good quality topsoil. Think you can grow a carrot in that? The answer is no. Pfenning's Farm #FridayFact #FightForFarmland #NoFarmersNoFood #UnwillingHosts #WilmotLandGrab

Last fall, the Region of Waterloo was told: excessive tillage of land they purchased would lead to serious erosion. They did nothing. This is the result. #FightForFarmland #WilmotLandGrab #StandYourGround

Soil erosion doesn't just happen — it's the result of poor management. The Region of Waterloo knew it was coming, but didn’t take action. Now, we all pay the price. #FightForFarmland #WilmotLandGrab #StandYourGround

Today, Bobbi Ann Brady and I introduced the “Protect Our Food Act" to create a Foodbelt that would permanently protect Ontario's farmland. We lose 319 acres of farmland every day in Ontario. We need to protect our food security and sovereignty more than ever in the face of
