摘要

Expanding urban-industrialization in southern Ontario is vying for use of Canada's best farmland. Agriculture's response has been to re-structure, to mechanize and automate, to increase usage of imported synthetic inputs, all at the expense of environmental protection, natural resource stewardship and sustainability. Widespread adoption of organic farming systems would do much to mitigate the stewardship and sustainability problems, but too many impediments exist to prevent this. Adoption of reduced-input farming techniques would offer a partial solution to sustainability problems. Additional measures in the form of public intervention should be employed. Public policies aimed at inducing farmers to expend more conservation effort on behalf of the environment and sustainable agri-food systems could encompass farmer education and extension assistance, financial assistance, cross-compliance measures, and compulsion backed by litigation and penalties. Such policies would best be targetted, especially when scarce public funds are earmarked for subsidizing farmers' conservation efforts, rather than universally applied. Targetting criteria should be not only high potential for achieving environmental protection and agri-food sustainability, but also positive net social welfare outcomes. Farm sites conferring highest positive net social welfare should be ranked first for targetting.
