摘要
Canada's agricultural business risk management (BRM) programs require significant public expenditure, with unclear consequences related to climate change adaptation and mitigation through the adoption of beneficial management practices (BMPs). This study examines the relationship between Canada's current suite of BRM programs and the adoption of practices that mitigate GHG emissions in crop agriculture. We review the impacts of agricultural insurance on climate adaptation and mitigation, identifying impacts on both the intensive and extensive margins of production. We consider five potential program modifications, including: (1) changes in producer insurance premiums in AgriInsurance for the adoption of practices that would decrease the actuarially fair insurance rate if they were properly incorporated in the calculation; (2) dedicated insurance products related to trials of specific BMPs; (3) adjustments to current programs to allow more whole-farm considerations and intercropping; (4) cross-compliance measures on AgriInvest tied to environmental education; and (5) reduced insurance coverage for unfavorable environmental practices. While the effects of these potential modifications remain uncertain, they will drive the data collection process necessary to ensure that Canada's BRM programs play an appropriate role in greenhouse-gas reducing BMP adoption and climate change adaptation and mitigation. Les programmes de gestion des risques des entreprises agricoles (GRE) du Canada necessitent des depenses publiques importantes, avec des consequences peu claires quant a l'adaptation et a l'attenuation des changements climatiques grace a l'adoption de pratiques de gestion benefiques (PGB). Cette etude examine la relation entre la serie actuelle de programmes de GRE du Canada et l'adoption de pratiques qui attenuent les emissions de GES dans les cultures agricoles. Nous examinons les impacts de l'assurance agricole sur l'adaptation et l'attenuation du changement climatique, en identifiant les impacts sur les marges de production intensives et extensives. Nous envisageons cinq modifications potentielles du programme, notamment: 1) des changements dans les primes d'assurance des producteurs dans Agri-protection pour l'adoption de pratiques qui diminueraient le taux d'assurance actuariellement equitable si elles etaient correctement integrees dans le calcul; 2) des produits d'assurance dedies lies aux essais de BMP specifiques; 3) des ajustements aux programmes actuels pour permettre davantage de considerations globales sur l'exploitation agricole et de cultures intercalaires; 4) les mesures d'ecoconditionnalite sur Agri-investissement liees a l'education environnementale; et 5) une couverture d'assurance reduite pour les pratiques environnementales defavorables. Bien que les effets de ces modifications potentielles restent incertains, elles orienteront le processus de collecte de donnees necessaire pour garantir que les programmes de GRE du Canada jouent un role approprie dans l'adoption de PGB de reduction des gaz a effet de serre et dans l'adaptation et l'attenuation aux changements climatiques.
