Hon. Bill Stewart speaks
Land waste must stop
• Ontario will soon have to
..L come to grips with the "sterile
cap of asphalt and concrete
spreading over prime food
land.,
"W e can't go on forever and a
day," Hon. William Stewart,
minister of agriculture and
food, told the annual meeting of
the Ontario. Institute' of
Agrologists in ,KeMptville.
According to Mr. Stewart,
rational changes must be made
, if future generations are to
have access to prime land.
•

. Stewart was sympathetic to
the problems of small towns
which ,must expand into
agrictiltural land to. attract.
Ontario's most productive
foodland is located in areas of
high population. But because
foodland priorities have ,been
induStry. But he emphasized overshadowed by housing,.an,,
that such progress at the ex-
pense of food production could
not tie tolerated.
In accepting,a life mem-
bership into the Agriculture
Institute . of 'Canada, Mr.
Stewart told the audience of 150
new demands would be . made
on agrologists. A .drop in, world
food reserves in 1973 had
caused the public to look on
agriculture in a new'light.
To meet the uncertainties of
the future, Stewart suggested
additional scientific training
for agrologists. He added that
agrologists would, . have to
tackle distribution problems in.
agriculture soon and develop
new crop varieties.
Unless agrologists continue
to provide meaningful in-
formation to farmers he said,
they will not be fulfilling their
role in society.
One half of Canada's class I
and one sixth of the class II,
agriculture land is in Ontario.
Yet twenty -f iv,e years from now
Ontario will have difficulty
being self-sufficient ,in foods .
which can .be reasonably
produced
According to -a report by the
Ontario Institute of
Agrologists, even if produc-
tivity rises by 70 percent over
the next 25 years, Ontario will
have a shortfall of more than -a
million-, acres. The solution
could create considerably
higher food prices. Up to two
million acres,of foodland with a
lower food potential may have
to be brou'ght into productiVity
in Northern Ontario.
