Goal 2: Support a Sustainable Economyhttp://www.metrovancouver.org/metro2040/PublishingImages/bg8.jpg, Banner http://www.metrovancouver.org/metro2040/PublishingImages/bg8.jpgGoal 2: Support a Sustainable Economy<div class="ExternalClass899A729ACA4F4F4F856A6979FAE43573"><p>Nearly one-half of the province’s economic output is generated by the Metro Vancouver region. Metro 2040 aims to preserve the land base and transportation systems necessary to nurture a strong regional economy while supporting the labour force. Industrial and agricultural lands are being protected so that the business sectors dependent on these lands can thrive, while Urban Centres are the location of choice for regional commerce.</p> </div>#999999rgba(51, 104, 131, 1)

Strategy 2.3

Protect Land for Agriculture
