Title: Climate Change and Ontario’s Agri-food: OMAFRA’s Perspective Abstract: Ontario’s agriculture sector comprising almost 50,000 farms in 5 million hectares generates $13 billion farm cash receipts to Ontario’s GDP (OMAFRA, 2016). Adding food processing and other activities in the agri-food value chain, Ontario’s agri-food sector generated over $37 billion to the province’s gross domestic product, 800,000 employment and $14.9 billion in agri-food trade (OMAFRA, 2016-17).
