Canada's agriculture may become globally vital due to climate change

As climate change progresses, Canada's agricultural sector may become increasingly vital globally. Rising temperatures could expand arable land by 4.2 million square kilometers, but productivity growth has slowed from 2% (1991-2010) to a projected 1% by 2030. Disruptions in food supply and increased food insecurity worldwide highlight the need for Canada to enhance climate resilience and productivity in agriculture to meet future demands.
