Farming for the future: Maximizing the return on investment of agricultural land preservation


‌The Lower Mainland's agricultural lands support an industry producing 1.2 billion dollars worth of agricultural products annually.

This project studied the utilization of agricultural lands in the Lower Mainland with a focus on maximizing the return on our investment in farmland preservation.
