Introduction For over the last three decades, the city of Toronto has experienced various environmental predicaments and injustices. Environmental justice is a fundamental right accorded to all people under the environmental legislation, which seeks to redress the inequitable distribution of environmental burden and benefits (Mennis & Jordan, 2005). This report takes the case of the Toronto Greenbelt to explore the topic by highlighting the effects of the project on the general environment. Due to the rising environmental injustices and the urban sprawl, the provincial government of Ontario enacted legislation to enforce temporary stop on urban development on productive agricultural land within a greenbelt demarcation. This process involved agricultural zoning mainly to ensure that all land set for agricultural production was not used for housing or industrial construction. The Toronto Greenbelt program was started to safeguard essential and easily altered environmental land from the increasing developments in the highly populated sections of Toronto. The areas protected include the woodlands, wetlands, agricultural lands, and recreational zones for the welfare of the people and the various species of animals living within the greenbelt. This report adopts the case of environmental justice to explore the studies relating to the topic whilst targeting the Toronto situation. This report will argue that the greenbelt project has not yet solved the problem of environmental injustices faced in Toronto. The report will conclude by issuing a guideline or future steps for maintaining and improving environmental justice and equality in Toronto. Linking the Toronto Greenbelt project with environmental justice The pursuit of rural and urban equity in Toronto is advancing the objectives of environmental justice in several ways. Environmental justice seeks to look up to not only what societies differ on, but also what they cherish and celebrate together (Curtis, 2014). For instance, a community free from pollution, easy access to markets, affordable and modern housing, equal opportunities to develop as well as equal distribution of environmental burdens and benefits is the dream of everyone. Linking the two cases will seek to respond to several challenges that rural farmers and urban developers face when trying to improve their lifestyles. The first challenge is the stringent legislation protecting the Toronto Greenbelt from nonagricultural development. The second is to establish amicable means to ensure that both rural farmers and urban people of Toronto share equitably the benefits and burdens of environment linked to the greenbelt project. The Purpose of the greenbelt The greenbelt in Toronto was established in 2005 as a protective measure to save agricultural land from the increasing development stretching from the urban centers to the countryside. Apart from safeguarding farmlands, the greenbelt act sought to ensure substantial balance in the ecosystem, which could benefit both the rural and urban dwellers, thus bringing about environmental justice across Toronto (Fung & Conway, 2007). The greenbelt act could achieve this goal by enforcing strict regulations, which prevented any kind of industrial development within the region. This approach could help to conserve, reclaim, and better ecological and hydrological balance coupled with buffering rural-urban economic sust
