The Food Professor(@FoodProfessor):Reviewing a new study on carbon taxes in agriculture this morning. It’s not a Canadian study, but one scenario showed dairy production dropping by roughly 17% nationally after imposing a $150 per tonne carbon tax. The study argues that agriculture, unlike many other sectors, needs to be treated differently. Really surprising? We are starting to see more of these nuanced studies. About time.
