As Canada advances in agricultural automation, a new report from the Conference Board of Canada reveals that nearly 104,000 farm jobs could be automated within the next decade. This shift follows a historic trend where the share of Canadians employed in agriculture has steadily decreased while productivity has increased. In 1891, farming was the predominant occupation in Canada, but today, only about 1% of the labour force works in agriculture. The potential for automation to replace these jobs is seen as a positive development, driving economic growth and higher living standards through increased productivity.
