Here in British Columbia, farmland in the province has been set aside in the Agricultural Land Reserve since 1972. If land is deemed as agricultural, it's extremely difficult to get it taken out of the land reserve for development of any sort. The commission that oversees the land reserve is set up in such a way that it does not have to bow to the government of the day. And the provincial government cannot overrule a decision by the land commission.
