Interdisciplinary Agricultural Research in Canada

Abstract

The activities and accomplishments of agricultural economists conducting interdisciplinary research in association with other agricultural scientists in Canada are reviewed and evaluated. Agriculture and Agri‐Food Canada instituted an interdisciplinary research program with the placement of agricultural economists at Research Centres in the early 1970s. University‐ and government‐employed agricultural economists have produced a large number of important studies for the benefit of the agricultural industry in Canada. However, less than 3% of the articles published in this journal since its inception in 1952 report on interdisciplinary research. Interdisciplinary research in agriculture has been hampered by organizational weaknesses and inherent difficulties associated with conducting this type of research.
