Canadian farming is facing a crisis — could immigration be the answer?

Farming is facing a crisis in Canada. Around 40 per cent of Canadian farmers are set to retire next decade, and many don’t have a succession plan. We discuss if immigration is the awnser with Evan Fraser, the director of the Arrell Food Institute and co-author of a new report about the future of farming in Canada; Allan Millican, co-owner of Covered Bridge Haskap Orchards in Head of Millstream, N.B.; and Marcel Smellink, who came to Canada from the Netherlands in 1980s and nows runs a farm in Iroquois, Ont.
