AUstin The following 'is 'a continued summary of the National Farmers Union Land Policy adopted at the Annual Convention in December /5. "The members ofthe generation which are in power' must. not treat the earth as something given by,, their parents, -but rather 4.4 something borrowed from their children." • With the projected pretsure of world population on food supplies, Canada should adopt a policy of preserving prime agricultural land for the purpose of food production. Growth centres and industrial development should. be controlled' or our most Produbtive find will. .be •covered with Concrete and lost .as a food resource. • A more co-ordinated approach of: public and priVate utilities such as highways, power, lines,' PiPe-lines Would in many instances, result in, more rational land use. We believe there is an urgency .for the federal government, togeth- er with the provinces to develop land use policies:. Land in Canada should be , inventoried, classified and Zoned, Land zoned agriculture should be protected for the purpose of growing food and should be classified according to its product- ivity. Farm land particularly 'suited td specialized crops (e.g. 'fruit growing) should be dedicated exclusively to agriculture even though it may require zero grovv-th' of development for Other purposes. Severances shotild not be grant- ed to accommodate additional residences. on farms. .1.f an additional house is, • built, •then it would become part of the total farm. propetty. Land being held for deVeloPMent should move into development at a price no greater than that of the, last transfer before land valuation day, plus cost. of services installed since the' last transfef. We recognize' that the jurisdic- tion to deal with these problems is largely. provincial, but urge the federal government to take the initiative to engage in serious cOnsultation with the provinces to develop a national land use policy.
