Description
Food production and agricultural communities are being increasingly challenged by climate change related impacts; and the vulnerability of agriculture to climate change is widely recognized in scientific and policy communities. This thesis merges science and local knowledge to characterize agricultural vulnerability to climate change in the Tantramar area of New Brunswick. Research methods included a review of international and local climate adaptation studies, a focus group, a farmer survey, interviews (with farmers and community informants) and associated analysis.
