SUMMARY - The Future of Farming: Who Will Grow Our Food?

The average age of Canadian farmers continues to rise. Young people leave rural communities for urban opportunities. Land prices make entry nearly impossible for those without inherited wealth. Corporate operations expand while family farms shrink in number. These trends raise fundamental questions about who will produce Canada's food in coming decades—and whether the answer matters beyond pure economics.
