Excerpt from introduction:<\/em><\/p>\r\n

Most cities and towns of B.C. grew up where agriculture occurred.\u00a0 As the settlements expand, they are pressing up against the valuable ALR.\u00a0 The interface between agricultural and urban land uses is an area that is often vulnerable to conflict.\u00a0 Traditionally, it has not been the subject of focussed planning efforts, largely due to the historic fluidity of the agriculture-urban edge.\u00a0 In the past, as urban areas expanded, the \u201cedge\u201d moved further into former farming areas.\u00a0 However, in British Columbia, compared with many other jurisdictions, the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) provides an opportunity to reverse the long-standing assumption that it is natural and inevitable to compromise food lands for the sake of urbanization.<\/p>\r\n \r\n
