Future In Farming?
Thunder Bay's economic future could lie in farming. That's the opinion
of Food Activist Wayne Roberts who toured area farms yesterday and spoke
with local residents this morning. Roberts says this area has rich
farming land and will be heavily relied on when global warming takes
effect in Southern Ontario. Meanwhile, City Council received a report
last night claiming area public institutions including themselves spend
6.4 million dollars on food a year and how they could redirect some of
that money to local farmers.
