In terms of the positive benefits of climate change, I think it all speaks to the ability of the producers to adapt. There are pros and cons to each one. For example, it can get warmer, but on the other hand, that may increase the pests, and therefore, it may require more pesticides or more crop losses.
The whole issue is adaptability and the ability of the producers. There has been a significant adaptation. For example, 25 years ago there were no peas, beans, or lentils grown in western Canada, in the Prairies, and now we're the largest exporter of red lentils in the world, not only because of the technology, but because of innovation.
From the perspective of the work we're doing on the CRSC, there will be pluses and minuses. Water conservation may become more important if there's less of it. If we increase our pesticide use because we have more pests—and I'm saying “if”—then we'll have to take more care in terms of managing that. It's all about adaptation and ability. Climate change may have good benefits, bad impacts, or just change.
