Recently in Policy Category

I was recently invited to participate in a foresight workshop sponsored by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC). The workshop was the third in a series of events designed to explore future paths of climate change impacts and agricultural adaptation in Canada.

I recently was invited to be a respondent at the National Agricultural Biotechnology Council 21^st Annual Conference (NABC 21) in Saskatoon. The overall theme of the conference was Adapting Agriculture to Climate Change. The three presenters in the session I was involved in shared their perspectives on the roles of ethics, policy and carbon markets in agriculture's adaptation to climate change.

Policy decisions in agriculture often beget other changes - be they in behaviour, in technology and/or in the way that things are organized and decisions are made. The Danish sugar industry is a good case in point.
