ROTM | The Economics Behind the Future of Farming

In this episode of Root of the Matter, we sit down with Dr. Chris Boyer, UTIA Professor and Head of the Agricultural and Resource Economics Department, for a conversation about the economic challenges facing agriculture and the future of farming. We talk about farmland loss and why profitability is one of the biggest drivers of keeping land in agriculture. Dr. Boyer also shares insight into reimagining farming and the growing economic impact of wildlife damage on agricultural operations.
