Research Summary: This project builds and updates computer models to help understand what might happen in Ontario's farming industries if certain rules or situations change. These "what if" models are using economic theory and mathematical programming tailored to specific industries as needed. The work is being done through close collaboration between industry, government, and academia. The models will be updated often to include the latest information and changes in the industry. These tools will help answer important questions about farming in Ontario and can look at things like crop prices, policy changes. or new farming practices.
