A new study seeks to examine the changing role of agriculture land use in Canada.
The University of Northern B.C. will conduct a three year study to measure how much importance the public puts on farmland preservation, and whether or not governments are taking into consideration the public’s priorities related to this public policy issue.
The research will be conducted by the Environmental Planning Association’s Professor, David Connell. The study will cost about $464,000. The funds will be coming from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council insight grant.
