Agriculture and Agriculture et Agri-Food Canada Agroalimentaire Canada GCMs Predict Increases in Climate Variables (e.g. Temperature, Precipitation) How will these changes affect Agro-climatic indices? What are the potential impacts on crop production?

Agriculture and Agriculture et Agri-Food Canada Agroalimentaire Canada Implications for Quebec & Ontario Some areas presently marginal or unsuitable for grain corn and soybean production will become suitable for these crops. Areas presently well-suited for grain corn and soybean production will be suited for longer- season hybrids, with potentially higher yields

Agriculture and Agriculture et Agri-Food Canada Agroalimentaire Canada Some Considerations These findings are based on comparisons of current 30-year climate normals (averages) with those from an equivalent future 30-year period Significant changes in variability and extreme events are anticipated under climate change

Agriculture and Agriculture et Agri-Food Canada Agroalimentaire Canada Summary Likely consequences of climate change on agriculture in Eastern Canada: Significant increases in areas under corn and soybean in Atlantic Canada. Significant increase in yields of corn and soybean in Quebec and Ontario Expected increases in variability and extreme events could have significant impact on seasonal variability and risks to production
