Canadian Agriculture at a Glance

More than just a book about farming...

Canadian Agriculture at a Glance goes beyond the barn and the field to the leading edge of agriculture and the science behind it. It also looks at the people and trends that are changing the industry.

Agriculture is a business, but it is also a lifestyle. It produces what we eat and a lot of products we don't eat but use for other things. Agriculture gets the trains rolling, creates greenhouse gases, and absorbs them too. It uses new technology and plain old common sense. Articles on all these topics and more show how agriculture affects your everyday life.
