How might global warming be affecting a Canadian based food chain?
for my science project, i have to pick a canadian based food chain and say how global warming may be affecting it.

So they are actually teaching this lie in school now?
hmmm… as the planet warms, there might be less winter, which would mean less ice, which would mean less hockey, which would mean fewer growing boys eating their parents out of house and home after they come home hungry from practice. That might affect a Canadian food chain… or am I just reaching here?
For the most part the larger part of the chain would not really change. Just warmer weather to do things in. however for the crops that have a shorter life span (short growing time) such as some vegetables and fruits we could actually get a second growth. this would enhance availability to more per year but this would only last for a few then we have soil nutrient depletion unless we do a decent fertilization and soil usage and such.
For some crops better for others worse.
Prairie grain. As global warming increases, increased drought is expected to reduce both rainfall and glacial runoff for prairie food production. Combine this with the massive demand for water in the tar sands and things don’t look to good for Canada’s largest agricultural region.
Though a few regions of agriculture are expected to expand, due to drying there will be a net loss in agricultural production in Canada.
