Province Protecting and Expanding Ontario Farmland

April 21, 2026

As part of our plan to protect Ontario and build a more competitive, resilient and self-reliant agri-food sector, the government intends to introduce legislation that would restrict foreign acquisition of provincial farmland and support the expansion of agricultural production in the Clay Belt region of northern Ontario. These measures will help create good-paying jobs and drive economic growth by keeping Ontario farmlands under local ownership and unlocking the full agricultural potential of the Clay Belt region.
