Northern ag growth potential needs to be monitored
The Canadian Agri-Food Policy Institute’s (CAPI) study on water and agriculture was featured in an article written by Alex Binkley, published in the Ontario Farmer on December 3, 2019. The expanding amount of Northern Ontario land going into agriculture production has tremendous potential but also has to be watched for soil degradation and loss of stored carbon. That’s the conclusion of a paper prepared for the Canadian Agriculture Policy Institute by Paul Benalcazar, a PhD Candidate at Lakehead University.
