Climate Change and Food Distribution Policy

Sylvain Charlebois: Sylvain Charlebois, a specialist in food distribution and policy, said that Canada Prairies are expected to be the region most vulnerable to climate change in the world, according to The Chronicle Herald. He cited a recent Manitoba study that predicts Winnipeg will likely see the number of 30 degree-plus days per year rise from 11 to 46 in the next 50 years. Dr. The report also warns that those most vulnerable to climate change include not only farmers but low-income people and First Nations communities, who will struggle to cope with higher food prices. It time for all Canadians to think about pursuing mitigating actions against weather-related risks. Some remote regions will also fight to grow their own food and climate change could cut crop yields by more than 50 per cent, gravely endangering global food security. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
