Farmers for Climate Solutions (FCS) commissioned market research firm Leger to conduct a phone-based poll of 898 farmers and ranchers across Canada to better understand their perspectives on climate change and sustainability. The first question asked them what they think will be the main challenge for Canada’s agricultural sector in the next 10 years. The number one answer was climate change at 17.9 per cent. Many also said that input costs were a concern, at 17.2 per cent. Following that answer was government policy and regulations at 11.5 per cent.
