Foodland Forum's daily information, and purpose, is to provide valid, balanced content for - and about - those who personify the Real rural Ontario - our Farmers."Emphasizing the Culture in Agriculture" describes a two-fold purpose.
To Actively Promote:
(A) Sustainable farming practices involving FOOD production at the local, Farm level and the benefits such practices have for the LAND; Jointly, we believe an active and sustainable Rural Economy requires numbers of reasonably sized, diversified Farms.And
(B) The value of locally grown food to - and for - our own Domestic Consumers.
Our Content philosophy:
A strong Rural Economy not just requires - it is based on sustainable Farms.Virtually all Foodland Forum content revolves around the Farm Operators, and all of the people who actively support the ideals of Sustainable Farming practices joint with needs of a strong, sustainable Rural Economic model.
The FOUR daily Foodland Forum: Living On The Land program pillars include:
"Food Crops", "Livestock", "Health & Environment", "Technology & Management"
(A complete Content Overview can be found HERE)
We continue to press for an answer to the question WHY?
Why Farmers must maintain, and improve, their sustainable farming practices to remain viable on their farming operation in our modern, global-trade society.
Why sustainable farm practices and a Local Harvest has real value and benefits for our own, domestic Consumers, along with solid Rural Community Benefits.

Daily syndicated Radio programs:
Radio Stations across Ontario will continue to air our daily Foodland Forum: Living on the Land.

In the 21 st Century, Canada is a nation of City People, more than any other Developed Nation - More than 80% of Canadians live in cities of 50,000 +. So in a modern, global trade society only Canada's Urbanites have the political 'clout' and the economic power to keep our Farmers on the Land and our Rural Communities strong, viable and prosperous.
Ironic, isn't it?
