University of Alberta report delves into urban encroachment on high quality farmland
Description
February 23, 2018

Urban encroachment is not new, but these numbers might surprise you. In the Edmonton-Calgary corridor between 1984 and 2013, the project shows urban areas expanded by 50 per cent. Jennifer Crosby sits down with Dr. Brent Swallow to learn more.
