Canadian Agricultural Policy and Prairie Agriculture by Murray E. Fulton,Kenneth A. Rosaasen,Andrew Schmitz,Economic Council of Canada Pdf

One of several background papers commissioned by the Council for a study on the future of the prairie grain economy, this study defines the crisis in prairie agriculture and evaluates the past impact of Canadian agricultural policy. The study describes and highlights the key economic characteristics of prairie agriculture; defines the income and debt crisis facing it; explains how the boom of the 1970s contributed to the crisis of the 1980s by influencing the level of debt; reviews and documents the major agricultural programs affecting prairie agriculture and determines the impact of those programs on the crisis and the health of the agricultural industry; and suggests options to deal with both the current crisis and the future viability of the prairie agricultural sector.

Canadian Agricultural Policy by Vernon Fowke Pdf

First published in 1946, this historical analysis of Canadian agricultural policy from 1600 to 1930 tests the assumption that agriculture has been Canada's basic industry, central in the economic and political life of the nation. Professor Fowke demonstrates that agricultural interests have always been secondary in shaping agricultural policy. Government attitudes have been influenced less by economic and political agrarian pressures than by such considerations as defence of empire, provisioning of the staple trades, and later the investment opportunities offered to industry, commerce, and finance by an expanding agricultural frontier.

Internationalization and Canadian Agriculture by Grace Skogstad Pdf

In recent decades, Canada's agricultural industry, one of the world's largest, has had to adjust to global trade developments such as the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the World Trade Organization. Internationalization and Canadian Agriculture examines the patterns of continuity and change in Canadian agricultural policy making in important areas like farm income support programs, prairie grain marketing, supply management, animal and food product safety, and the regulation of genetically modified crops and foods. Arguing that the effects of internationalization have been mediated by Canada's political institutional framework, Grace Skogstad demonstrates how the goals and strategies of authoritative political actors in Canada's federal and parliamentary systems have been decisive to policy developments. Skogstad details the interaction between agriculture and the political economy of Canada, shows how international and domestic trade shape Canadian agricultural policies, and argues that while agricultural programs have changed, the post-war state assistance agricultural paradigm has persisted. A thorough political analysis and history of late twentieth- and early twenty-first-century Canadian agricultural policy and policy-making, Internationalization of Canadian Agriculture is an important contribution to political economy and public policy.

Farming in a Changing Climate by Ellen Wall,Barry Smit,Johanna Wandel Pdf

In farming systems across Canada, effective risk management is necessary to deal with drought, flooding, and extreme weather, and to adapt to altered climate and weather conditions. Unfortunately, climate change risks and opportunities are not always well understood among researchers and policy makers in the Canadian agri-food sector. This book addresses that gap by providing a wide-ranging synopsis of what climate change means for Canadian agriculture, exploring different approaches to the topic, and presenting examples of current research. It covers all agricultural regions and a wide variety of commodity production and farming systems. This comprehensive survey synthesizes twenty years of research on climate change and Canadian agriculture.
