The Ontario Farmland Trust (OFT) is a non-profit charitable organization, established in 2004, whose mission is to protect farmland and the associated agricultural, natural and cultural features of Ontario's countryside.

OFT actively protects farmland by working directly with landowners who have a desire to see their farms permanently protected for agriculture. We offer both landowners and community groups tools, such as farmland conservation easements, that can be used to protect individual properties of value to them. 

OFT also assists in raising awareness of the impacts of farmland loss, the need for greater farmland preservation and the importance of land stewardship. We provide ongoing volunteer and learning opportunities and encourage collaboration amongst diverse stakeholders, including farmers, local food groups, land use planners, health advocates and government.
