Includes bibliographical references (pages 79-88). "The migration of urban people to urban-shadow areas in Canada represents a reversal of rural population trends. The impact of this resettlement can be both favourable and unfavourable. A resettlement of the eastern Ontario/western Quebec study area from 1972 to 1979 was mainly generated by exurbanites from Montreal and Ottawa. This resettlement has generally strengthened rural socio-economic infrastructures and maintained farmland in agricultural use. However, the demand for primarily subdivided properties is decreasing the availability and increasing the value of quality farmland. While farmers may turn to land rental, short-term agreements contribute to exploitation of the soil resource. The anticipation of higher land values could also contribute further to economic uncertainty and eventually to a lowering of agricultural productivity"--Abstract.
