Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
Download or read book Canadian Agricultural Policy written by Vernon Fowke and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1946-12-15 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Internationalization and Canadian Agriculture written by Grace Skogstad and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2008-09-06 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Agriculture and Sustainable Development written by Art Wilson and published by International Institute for Sustainable Development = Institut international du développement durable. This book was released on 1995 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study establishes a framework for analysis of current policies from the standpoint of their consistency with sustainable agriculture and sustainable development. The framework developed should be applicable throughout the Great Plains region and to similar semi-arid agricultural regions. The objectives of the study are to: identify the issues in agriculture and its sustainability on the Canadian Plains, including land use, degradation of prairie soil resources, preservation of biodiversity, water use and quality, socio-economic issues, global change, and federal and provincial policies; provide a set of principles and criteria for resolution of those issues; assist in understanding the effects of selected agriculture and trade policies on sustainable development; and propose specific sustainable action programs for the Plains, focusing on agriculture and ecosystems. Principles that formed the basis of the analytical framework included integrated management, conservation, rehabilitation, market viability, societal considerations, and global responsibility. The merit of the framework was tested by using it to assess the compatibility of four policies with sustainable agriculture: the Western Grain Transportation Act, the Farm Products Marketing Agencies Act, the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Act, and the North American Waterfowl Management Plan. Includes glossary.

Download or read book The Prairies and the Pampas written by and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 1987-09 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Argentine and Canadian wheat economies, starting from very similar positions in the late nineteenth century, had diverged startlingly by 1930. In wheat production and export Argentina had stagnated and declined, while Canada had surged to a position of world leadership. This book explains how Canada had outpaced Argentina, a country with better growing conditions and a much shorter haul to port. The author finds the explanation in how differing government policies affected the paths the Canadian and Argentine wheat economies took. The author's investigations center on several key questions: In what ways did Canadian and Argentine policy makers and wheat growers attempt to improve their competitive positions by introducing efficient marketing systems, research, and agricultural education? How responsive were the two political systems to questions of land tenure, the role of immigrants, and political representation in the wheat regions? In sum, how did quite different views on the role of the state affect the outcome? The book is in three parts. The first provides a basic political and economic overview of Argentine and Canadian history between 1880 and 1930. The second part analyzes and compares the two countries' basic agricultural development policies. In the third part the focus moves away from a topical emphasis and shifts to an analysis of major agricultural policy issues in the two countries. The concluding chapter presents some final thoughts on the different paths of agrarian development in the two countries.
Download or read book Farming in a Changing Climate written by Ellen Wall and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
