Civil society organizations are among the most vociferous critics of the modern food system. Yet even after decades of campaigns, governments have largely failed to address health and sustainability issues in an effective way. This volume showcases the research of experts from multiple disciplines who argue that solutions lie not just in lobbying elected officials but in initiatives at the subparliamentary level. Real change will come, they argue, when advocacy groups develop innovative strategies capable of influencing decision makers more resistant to public pressure: business lobbies well connected to government agencies, middle managers, and ministries unused to collaborating across departmental mandates.

This document provides an assessment of the economics and production of the Canadian agriculture and agri-food sector, examining the primary production of plant and animal commodities, the food and beverage processing industry, and changes in agricultural land use. It also gives a detailed profile of the environmental issues pertinent to the sector, examining issues such as water quality and use, agricultural inputs, and land. Examples of ways to address these issues are also identified. The assessment focuses on the environmental impacts and risks from agricultural and agri-food production. Trends in the sector are analyzed for 1971-1991, with updates from 1991 provided where possible. The document concludes with an qualitative environmental outlook for the sector on a regional basis.

The global food crisis is a stark reminder of the fragility of the global food system. The Global Food Crisis: Governance Challenges and Opportunities captures the debate about how to go forward and examines the implications of the crisis for food security in the world’s poorest countries, both for the global environment and for the global rules and institutions that govern food and agriculture. In this volume, policy-makers and scholars assess the causes and consequences of the most recent food price volatility and examine the associated governance challenges and opportunities, including short-term emergency responses, the ecological dimensions of the crisis, and the longer-term goal of building sustainable global food systems. The recommendations include vastly increasing public investment in small-farm agriculture; reforming global food aid and food research institutions; establishing fairer international agricultural trade rules; promoting sustainable agricultural methods; placing agriculture higher on the post-Kyoto climate change agenda; revamping biofuel policies; and enhancing international agricultural policy-making.

The Canadian Farming Community is facing numerous ongoing challenges, including rapidly changing technologies, the gradual erosion of the rural lifestyle, growing consumer concerns about the healthiness of food, and growing environmental concerns (including climate change). This book begins with an historic overview of agriculture in Canada, followed by a statistical profile of the contemporary Canadian farm/ranch, supporting agri-industrial complex, and the innumerable farm organizations in Canada. The vital role of international trade and government support in the evolution of Canadian agriculture is also highlighted. Resource management issues and related “hot button” issues (e.g. climate change, GMO’s) are also addressed in considerable detail. In addition, Dr. Anderson identifies the likely trends in Canadian agriculture in the immediate years ahead. Emphasizing the diversity, complexity, strength and vitality of the agricultural sector, Canadian Agriculture in the 21st Century ultimately highlights how it effectively molds and remains integral to the socioeconomic fabric of both rural and urban Canada. An underlying theme is the importance of having Canadian agriculture become increasingly ecofriendly in the challenging years ahead, particularly the need to gradually adopt more sustainable, regenerative (organic) technologies and the need to more pro-actively serve as a vital CO2 sink in climate change mitigation. Dr. Anderson also suggests that the public should financially compensate farmers/ ranchers for protecting environmental amenities that accrue to everyone. A complimentary theme is the need for Canadian agriculture to become increasingly sensitive to consumer concerns, particularly with respect to rigorous health standards, animal welfare, and sustainable resource management.

This report presents Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada's third sustainable development strategy (SDS), aimed at supporting sustainable agriculture - producing and processing agricultural products in a way that can be carried out over the long term, in a manner that supports or enhances the high quality of life we enjoy in Canada today. The SDS aligns with the federal government's work thus far to develop a vision of a sustainable Canada, supports areas for sustainable development action, and describes horizontal action to cooperate with other departments on shared interests. The Department also commits to greening its own operations.

The last 20 years have challenged the Canadian farming community. The expansion of the 1970s, followed by the high debt, drought and trade wars of the 1980s, have shown clearly the vulnerability of the sector to changing markets, economic factors and weather. This document discusses the the strength of the Canadian agri-food industry, and reviews the agri-food policies and practices. It also examines the process of choosing a new vision, and proposes directions for a change.

This 2005 report provides an economic overview of the Canadian agriculture and agri-food system. It begins by looking at the contribution of the system to the whole economy, then each segment of the agri-food chain is reviewed, going upstream from consumers to food distribution, food, beverage and tobacco (FTB) processing, primary agriculture, all the way to input supply. Charts, figures and tables with brief accompanying texts are used to summarize information and to provide base performance indicators. This report is meant to be a multi-purpose reference document to provide: an introduction to the agriculture and agri-food system; a snapshot of structural changes that are occurring throughout the system in response to various factors; and background data and information to inform public discussions on issues facing Canadian agriculture.
