I don’t understand… From all I can tell, there’s quite a bit of farming happening in Canada. Are you saying the land is farmed, but inefficiently? Or is there land that should be farmed but is forest/wilderness?
„Regulation“ and „compliance“ are the same, more or less. It’s just florist to keep repeating both.
Taxes rarely prevent some business from existing since almost all taxes are tied to profits, not revenues.
Do you have any examples of regulation in farming that make it so much harder for the 1,000,000 $ farm than one 10 x the size? And, if that is so, why aren’t these large companies making the gains in efficiency you are promising?

How do taxes affect the process of saving the capital, do they increase or decrease the pace? * Having multiple ways to invest someone's capital, would a person prefer the enterprise with higher net profits?
- KarlKemp 5y agoI’m having doubts a lack of capital is stopping Canada from producing vastly more foodstuffs. For one thing, agriculture is (literally) bread-and-butter business for banks. And there’s been sort of a capital glut. Meaning: a semi-solid business plan will get you all the capital you need, for little more than 0 % interest.
- rdtwo 5y agoFarming isn’t very profitable. High risk venture. I think it’s almost like running a self storage where you are mostly just using the farming to pay for the land.
