Durham Food Policy Council aims to protect Durham’s agricultural land
The Durham Food Policy Council (DFPC) is a community-based committee in the Region of Durham that was established in early 2010. The members of the DFPC have strong concerns about proposed plans pertaining to land use contained in Region of Durham’s Official Plan, especially those that have implications for local agricultural lands and future initiatives for local food security. The DFPC will continue to promote prudent use of the agricultural lands until this becomes a priority for the Region of Durham. The group invites concerned citizens to join the movement in seeing that food and sustainable planning become a priority by the Region of Durham for the benefit of residents and Durham Region as a whole.
