This book was released on 2003 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an outgrowth of a conference that analyzed transformations in farming & farm communities and discussed what might be done to achieve a more socially responsible development. It contains papers that address the pace of change in work & rural society which has proceeded so rapidly that every new development appears to be a cross-roads in which something precious is in danger of being left behind, but something valuable may be gained by taking the right route. Topics of the papers include the importance of work, the family farm, community building, knowledge & skills in the farm community, coping with the farm crisis, land reform, short line railways, farm co-operatives, agricultural chemicals & agribusiness, sustainable alternatives for agriculture, game farming, co-operative intervention in the farm machinery sector, conservation tillage, globalization & agricultural policy, agrarian radicalism on the prairies, and farm income support systems.

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.

Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and published by Canadian Museum of Civilization/Musee Canadien Des Civilisations. This book was released on 1997 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Agricultural Policies and Soil Degradation in Western Canada written by Aziz Bouzaher and published by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Policy Branch. This book was released on 1994 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An integrated agro-ecological economic modeling system is being constructed around the Canadian Regional Agriculture Model (CRAM) for Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. As an initial application, and to test its performance, the system was used to evaluate the resource neutrality of the Gross Revenue Insurance Program (GRIP) in the Prairie Provinces. The report discusses the interactions between the major system components of agricultural decision (RS-CRAM) and environmental decision; imposes the policy scenario being simulated on RS-CRAM, where management decisions are simulated based on expected producer response to risk and options available in the input substitution component; interfaces management parameters such as tillage level, crop, and crop sequence from RS-CRAM with the environmental metamodels; and then performs an analysis to evaluate the overall economic and environmental impacts of the simulated policy scenario.

Book excerpt: "The agriculture-forest interface is defined as the general boundary zone separating the agricultural ecumene from forest. A variety of land uses in addition to farming and forestry can exist in such areas: recreation, energy and mineral development, wildlife, watershed protection. This exploratory paper reviews, by province, the principal geographic areas of substantial recent changes in land use at the agriculture-forest interface and discusses the land allocation and management issues associated with each area"--Abstract.
