The Christian Farmers Federation has a vision for a renewed agriculture that
is productive, keeps people on the land, and protects our provincial
resources of land, water and air.

On Thursday, December 12, there will be a seminar on the findings of
workshops sponsored by CFFO and the vision that has emerged from them. The
vision includes an action plan for a moderate-scale farming and
multi-benefit agriculture..

The morning sessions will emphasize what has been learned from this year’s
workshop series on: “Gearing Up for a Better Future: An Emerging Vision for
Farmers and Farming in Ontario.” The afternoon sessions will review the
workshops the CFFO has sponsored over the past four years and the new vision
document that has emerged.

A light lunch will be available to those who register in advance. Contact us
