Where does agriculture fit in?

Agriculture is one of Canada's largest industries. It plays a huge role in our economy and directly influences and works closely with several other industries, including: Tourism, Environment, Energy, Transportation, Manufacturing and more. The key to a successfully sustainable future is integration. 


Given expected changes in temperatures, precipitation and pests associated with climate change, the global community is called upon to increase investment in research, development and demonstration of technologies to improve the sustainability of food systems everywhere. Building resilience of local food systems will be critical to averting large-scale future shortages and to ensuring food security and good nutrition for all.
