Slide 2 Slide 3 Slide 4 A source of fresh water is a huge factor
in the development or arable land Nutrients in the soil are very
important and can be fixed with fertilizer for a shot period of
time Also for cold areas greenhouses are very useful to keep the
plants warm Slide 5 It is non-renewable because we simply cannot
make anymore of it Also if it is used badly like, bad farming
practices or polluted, it cannot be used for most of the uses for
land except possibly building. Slide 6 The greenbelt was created to
protect farmland and environmentally sensitive areas from urban
areas and pollution The greenbelt was also created to protect
535,000 acres of forest, lakes and more Slide 7 Slide 8
Eutrophication: Having waters rich in mineral and organic nutrients
that promote a growth of plant life, especially algae, and the
algae dies and decreases the amount of oxygen in the water
Pesticides: They hurt farmers, consumers, and the environment,
Farmers: have a good chance of becoming exposed while mixing the
chemicals or applying it to the crops Consumers: have a chance of
consuming it Environment: it will kill the target insect but can
also kill beneficial insects. It can also kill wildlife and farm
animals. Slide 9 Organically grown: food is grown and processed
using no synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. Pesticides made from
natural sources can be used in producing organically grown food

Canada's Land Inventory is a survey of Canada's agriculture land
capability and divided into seven classes. Class 1: Land has deep
soils and is excellent for farming. It has no climatic or land

farmland. It has no serious climatic or land limitations. 1.8% of
Canada's land area. Canadas Land Inventory (CLI) Slide 31 Class 3:
Land is good farmland, but some climatic or land limitations that
make some farming activities impossible. 2.7% of Canadas land area.
Class 4: Land is at the break even point for commercial agriculture
because of a short growing season, poor soil conditions, or other
significant limitations. 2.7% of Canadas land area. Slide 32 Class
5: Land has serious limitations for agriculture, such as a very
short growing season, hilly landscape, thin soil, thin soil, or
poor drainage. Class 5 land may be used for grazing or producing
hay and is 3.7% of Canadas land area. Class 6: Land is similar to
class 5 except that the limitations ore more severe. Crops cannot
be grown successfully. These lands can be used only for rough
grazing 1.8% Slide 33 Class 7: Land has no capability for farming
for farming or was not classified 86.8% Slide 34 Slide 35
