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. 410 0$aSustainability and the environment. 606 $aCrops and climate$zCanada 606 $aCrops and climate$xMethodology 606 $aAgricultural ecology$zCanada 606 $aAgriculture and state$zCanada 606 $aAgriculture$xManagement$zCanada 615 0$aCrops and climate 615 0$aCrops and climate$xMethodology. 615 0$aAgricultural ecology 615 0$aAgriculture and state 615 0$aAgriculture$xManagement 676 $a333.76/0971 701 $aSmit$b Barry$01696727 701 $aWall$b Shirley Ellen$01696728 701 $aWandel$b Johanna$f1971-$01696729 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825227703321 996 $aFarming in a changing climate$94076905 997 $aUNINA
