It seems the only ones who dont value agricultural land for agriculture are Todays BC Liberals. 95% of respondents say the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) should be preserved for green space and growing food. 76% either agree or strongly agree that the ALR is important, not only for protecting farms, but also for protecting valleys and green space needed for wildlife habitat and recreational enjoyment. 80% are concerned about dependence on other countries for our food security. 73% say the ALR is a cornerstone of food security and the BC economy. When asked what priority uses for land in British Columbia were, respondents identified natural freshwater systems (83%), closely followed by farming and growing food (81%).
