[FLOCK DEBATE] Climate Change and Farming Sustainability
Topic Introduction: Climate Change and Farming Sustainability
The topic of climate change and farming sustainability is of critical importance to Canadians, as it touches on both our agricultural sector and our environmental health.

However, it is also one of the sectors most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, which include more extreme weather events, shifts in growing seasons, and changes in pest and disease dynamics.
