Agriculture in Canada’s Capital Greenbelt
Farms in the Greenbelt are a symbol of Canada’s rural traditions, and they provide an example of how to practise viable and diverse agriculture in a near-urban setting. The Greenbelt also ensures that there is a space in Ottawa where farming can supply part of local food needs.

Farm Rentals
The NCC has developed a model that provides unique opportunities for new farmers to establish farms on quality farmland within 10 minutes of downtown. The NCC has recently embraced a shift toward local and sustainable food production, and we are looking for tenants who are experienced and ready to start their own farm.
