CSFS Associate and chair of agriculture and environment in the Faculty of Land and Food Systems Dr. Sean Smukler and NSERC industrial research chair in animal welfare Dr. Dan Weary were interviewed about about adapting animal agriculture to climate change. It is going to be a “negotiation between society and producers, deciding whether or not we’re willing to pay the price to protect them,” says Dr. Smukler. “We need to pay more for our food if we want something that’s sustainable.”
