Reporter: Kelly Vodden Editors: Deanna Lyon Lori Livermore Delegates ad pt policy at annual convention Agriculture as we know it in Ontario :s not sustainable in the long-term, according to members of the Christian Farmers Federation of On- tario. Delegates at the F'edera- tion's annual convention ear- ly in December adopted a resolution calling for a move in agricultural practices toward sustainable agriculture. The Federation's resolu- tion .suggests four specific goals: recognizing the natural systems of the crea- tion; re -ordering research priorities to increase our ability to understand and work with our environment: individual farmers gaining a much better understanding of the impact of their prac- tices on the creation, and much greater government encouragement of pro- grams, such as integrated Pest Management and other alternatives to the use of chemicals in agriculture. ('1(0 Z', intra, a biologist at Calvin College in (;rand Rapids. Michigan, told the 210 family farmers that our supposedly efficient focal system comes at a high cost in energy, water quality, soil Toss and soil degradation Christians," he said, "have no choice but to pursue a sus- tainable agriculture, because the earth is the Lord's and we are its stewards.' Ron Goldsmith, a geographer at Ryerson Polytechnical Institute in Toronto, warned that the cost of producing food is sky- rocketing out of the reach of those with the greatest needs. "Soil erosion is not the most critical kind of ero- sion in the agricultural com- munity." He said. "it is a symptom. The problem is the erosion of traditional at- titudes which hinds society to the land." Herb Eldridge of the Natural Farmers Aasocia- tion argued that. if Cana- dians are really concerned about feeding the poor of the world, they would go into the third world and show them how to grow food. You would have to show there by organics, because they cer- tainly cannot afford our high technology," he .said. "You would not only feed them, but you would give them their dignity " Pat Lynch, a soil and crop specialist with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Fond, questioned whether a han on certain pesticides would make it safer for the environment or are we merely putting the Canadian farmer at a disadvantage 1f we ban pesticides here, raising the cost of production here, will we han products from all countries using those products?" he asked. He pointed out that we have already banned some pesticides but we still allow products into Canada from countries that continue to use these pesticides. Lynch urged the farmers to put more effort into manure management, ero- sion control, equipment sharing, record keeping, crop rotation, and soil analysis. The convention resolution identified five concerns about present agriculture: - soil erosion is a major destroyer of the productivity of our foodland base and a polluter of our water resources: - some cropping practices, such as continuous corn, are having detrimental effects on the quality of our soils; - pesticides are deliberate environmental poisons with profound effects on organisms other than the target pests; - our food production prac- tices have become dangerously capital - intensive and dependent on uninterrupted and large sup- plies of non-renewable resources. such as fossil fuels, fertilizers and pesticides: and - increasing areas of the world face desertification, salinizalion. deforestation and lowering of water tables.

The report outlines the cases investigated by the ministry„rom January 1 to September 30, 1982. In one case, the aerator of a Toronto-based private school, Keith Wan, which of- fers high school programs to foreign students, was con- victed of misrepresentation, under the Business Prac- tices Act. He was fined $500, given five months probation and ordered to reimburse a total of $6,650 to his three vic- tims. Court was told the three Asian students paid $2,500 each to attend Central On- tario College after seeing the school's advertisements which showed facilities and courses that didn't exist. Two of the students left the school after one day; the other after one semester to register in a different school. Court ordered the school to reuiiburse the first two students and to pay $1,650 to the other. The school now has all the facilities and courses offered in its advertisement. In another case, a former Niagara Falls mortgage broker, Zenon Bril, was sentenced to 41/2 years in jail after an investigation by the ministry showed he had bilk- ed 120 people of $195,000 in deposits on long-range, low- interest mortgage applica- tions. At the trial, Mr. Brtl said he paid $2,000 in member- ship fees to a U.S. club entitl- ing hire to interest-free loans from Mid.iie Eastern and European sources. When the money he applied for did not arrive, he started using the deposits to cover business expenses. None of the vic- tims' money was recovered. Other offenders were fined $100 for selling cars without being registered as car salesmen with the ministry and $300 for failing to record odometer readings on trade- ins We can't help With-. ut y'• ur help 0 0 of AbL TY1uNE' WORKING WITH PHYSi('AL l r DI' Agt F[.
