Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines Canada's agricultural land from a geographical and economic perspective, focusing on the impact of urbanization and land use on agricultural production and land tenure patterns. The author reviews Canada's land inventory and land capability, which divides land into classes based on its agricultural potential. The author argues that while most of Canada's best agricultural land is already in farms, an additional 38 million hectares could be incorporated into farms if all classes of land are considered. The author then estimates the potential for increases in crop production under current cropping patterns, suggesting that Canada has the capacity to increase wheat production to 32 million tons, a 92 percent increase over the 10-year average. The author also examines the impact of urbanization on agricultural land, finding that the amount of land converted to urban use annually is relatively small, but that the potential for increased crop production in Ontario is substantial due to the combination of good land and favorable climate. The author concludes by discussing land tenure patterns in Canada, noting that the percentage of farms fully owned by the operator has declined, while the number of farms partly owned or fully rented by the operator has increased. Overall, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the state of Canada's agricultural land, the challenges it faces, and its potential for future production.
