AGRICULTURAL FORUM ON CLIMATE CHANGE Toronto, January 25-26, 1995 — A special forum recently brought together scientists, agricultural producers, government officials and environmental organizations to share information on climate change and to explore its potential impacts on Canadian agriculture. The forum focused on practical measures Canadian farmers can take to reduce greenhouse gases, while increasing yields and profits. It was co-hosted and organized by Environment Canada, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, and the National Agriculture Environment Committee, an independent committee of agricultural producer associations. The first day of the forum was devoted to the science of climate change, and the two presentations by Gordon McBean, Assistant Deputy Minister of Atmospheric Environment Service and Roger Pocklington, a research scientist at Fisheries and Oceans' Bedford Institute of Oceanography, provoked lively discussions. The second day focused on agriculture issues, with presentations on such topics as increasing yields while reducing greenhouse gases, the effect of crop management on carbon dynamics in Canadian soils, and methane from cattle production, to name a few. Watch future issues of DELTA for more information on some of these issues. Proceedings are currently being prepared, and a summary will be available very shortly.
