Protect Family Farms

Strengthen local food production to lower costs for everyone.

Rural Ontario feeds our province, but farm families are being squeezed while grocery giants and corporate middlemen make record profits.

We'll ban foreign ownership of Ontario farmland and guarantee farmers the right to repair their own equipment through a provincial Right to Repair Act.

No small family farm should have to fight a multinational corporation alone.

We'll repeal Bills 5 and 97 to protect Ontario farmland, invest in rural housing, healthcare, and infrastructure so families can build their futures where they live and work.

We will strengthen Ontario's food security with a Farm to Table Act — so more of the food grown in Ontario is processed in Ontario, sold in Ontario, and served on Ontarians' tables.

By cutting out corporate profiteering, we'll lower grocery bills, raise farm incomes, and keep Ontario's farmland in the hands of the people who work it.

And we'll bring manufacturing home: instead of sending billions of public dollars out of province and out of the country, a Made-in-Ontario Procurement Act will keep more than $45 billion in annual government purchasing here at home.

This will create permanent agrifood jobs and strengthen local supply chains.
