Whether we’re talking about years of drought, Lake Erie’s algae blooms, or the economic potential of irrigation, there are huge opportunities and challenges at hand when it comes to water and how it’s managed. As our guests discuss in this new episode, AG policy connection Podcast brought to you by the Canadian Agriculture and Food Policy Institute (CAPI).

Why do we need to think about water policy in agriculture? What is stopping us from better managing our water supplies? Is agriculture and food production part of important policy discussions about water? If not, what are the risks? And should water be treated as a strategic asset?
