GTA Agricultural Action Committee

The Greater Toronto Area Agricultural Action Committee (GTA AAC) is a unique partnership involving the four regional municipalities of Halton, Peel, York and Durham, the four Greater Toronto Area Federations of Agriculture (Halton, Peel, York and Durham), the City of Toronto, Toronto Food Policy Council Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, and the food sector.

The partnership developed as the various stakeholders worked together to write the GTA Agricultural Action Plan.

The GTA AAC’s regular meeting date is the fourth Wednesday of the month at 4:00 p.m. in the winter and 5:30 in the other seasons.

The GTA Agricultural Action Plan recommended the establishment of the GTA AAC

“Action #7. Create a GTA Agricultural Action Committee (GTA AAC), comprised of dynamic champions, to provide a coordinating function for agriculture in the GTA, share information, raise awareness of issues, act as liaison with all levels of government, and encourage innovation and diversification within the industry.”
