Our users are interested in determining how Canadian agriculture will change in future in response to climate stressors and socio-economic drivers, and are tasked with maintaining water and food security, the Canadian economy, and environmental stewardship. In collaboration with our partners, our seven-year, pan-Canadian AWF goal is to determine how Canadian agriculture and food production systems can best respond to risk and uncertainty associated with current and future climatic and socio-economic stressors.
We will identify and assess appropriate agricultural activities, Beneficial Management Practices (BMP) and governance arrangements related to water quantity and quality that will ensure sustainable food supplies, healthy ecosystems and an economically strong agricultural community.
