The agricultural land reserves of British Columbia : an impact analysis / by Edward W. Manning and Sandra S. Eddy.: En73-1/13E-PDF ; En73-1/13E

"In December 1972, the Government of British Columbia froze high capability agricultural land and began a process whereby most of the province's land with agricultural potential was designated as Agricultural Land Reserves within these reserves, the intention was to preserve agricultural land for possible future agricultural use. At the same time, many expectations were voiced regarding the expected contribution of this legislation to the maintenance of a viable farming community. This paper analyzes the impacts that the Agricultural Land Reserve legislation and its implementation have had, in terms of preserving agricultural land and maintaining viable farming units"--Executive Summary.
