Abstract
This paper explores the implications of a large-scale transition to sustainable agriculture in Canada. As one component of a broader sustainable society scenario, the study reaches conclusions about the ability of an alternative food production system to meet the food needs of Canadians. The results suggest that Canada can be self-sufficient in grains, oilseeds and pulse production. There is also sufficient land for forage and hay production. Apparent shortages in feed crops could be subsidized with grains currently allocated for food. Canada will continue to depend on imports of fruits and vegetables, although urban production of these crops can significantly increase domestic supplies. With careful planning and management of land resources, the country could maintain a comfortable level of self-reliance for most foods under a sustainable agricultural system.
