Tackling the Farm Crisis and the Climate Crisis

A Transformative Strategy for Canadian Farms and Food Systems

The farm crisis is real, as is the climate crisis. Left unchecked, the climate crisis will dramatically deepen the income crisis on Canada’s farms as farmers struggle to deal with continued warming, more intense storms, and increasingly unpredictable weather. It is clear that climate change represents a major challenge to agriculture, but it also represents an opportunity. Based on extensive research, this report argues that the very factors driving the climate crisis are also driving the farm crisis. It also presents opportunities for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture that will also strengthen the family farm. This report does not claim to have all the answers. Both the climate crisis and the farm crisis are so complex that no single report can provide all the answers. This report, however, does have many answers—some of which could be implemented right away. Others provide a starting point to opening up the climate conversation in the agricultural sector. Options that will work for different geographic locations, soil types, or types of farms will be explored, but there is no one-size-fits-all solution.
