Urban Expansion Poses Significant Challenges to Future of Farming

Urban expansion is increasingly encroaching upon agricultural lands, posing significant challenges to the future of farming. This issue is exemplified by Quinn Farm, a 200-acre enterprise established in 1982 on the outskirts of Montreal. The farm produces horticultural crops, raises chickens, pigs, and sheep—including several rare breeds—and operates a large farm store featuring its own produce, homemade pastries, and a variety of local products.
