The North American Free Trade Agreement has fundamentally reorganized agriculture and rural landscapes across southern Ontario, sparking a new social, economic, and spatial context of farming and rural communities alike. This transition has been reflected in the exodus of small farmers from the industry and the severance of farming and farmers from community life.

Farming Futures is a prompt for a new type of both social and physical infrastructure that is required to ensure the sustenance of agriculture in Southern Ontario. The project is a proposal to reintroduced both publics that have been lost in NAFTA transition and new communities alike into agriculture. This is to ensure the stewardship of our landscapes and a sharing of knowledge and resources that are critical in order to grow a socially and environmentally sustainable future for farming.
