LAND USE '
By G. 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.
