""Ontario farmland is an important, limited resource and it should be owned by Ontario farmers. Now more than ever we need to protect and grow our agri-food sector.""
""These proposed changes will protect local food production, grow our economy and keep our farmland under domestic ownership for future generations.""
The Government of Ontario has proposed the Protecting Ontario's Food Independence Act, 2026 to restrict foreign ownership of farmland and support local farmers. The legislation aims to enhance agricultural production in the Clay Belt by easing access to arable land. It also includes measures to modernize veterinary practices and streamline regulations in the agri-food sector. The government plans to consult with stakeholders on implementation and potential exemptions to the foreign acquisition restrictions.
