      History

      The Ontario Energy and Agriculture Policy Committee was established in June 1980 as a joint committee of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food and the Ministry of Energy. The committee was co-chaired by the Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Food and the Deputy Minister of Energy. The other six members included persons with expertise in fields of agriculture and/or energy.

      The Committee made fifty-nine detailed recommendations that touched on every area of energy and agriculture policy, including increasing awareness of energy management among agricultural producers, creating incentives for energy management, examining fuel substitution, increasing energy production from agriculture, the use of industrial waste heat in agriculture, and other areas.

      The Committee was disbanded in 1981.
