His research focuses on the intersection of international trade law and environmental protection. Specifically, Luter’s thesis explores the processes by which member states of the World Trade Organization (WTO) are carving out widening regulatory autonomy, beyond the perceived confines of WTO jurisprudence, to adopt trade policy measures having environmental protection objectives. The project examines the significance of these developments for Border Carbon Adjustments proposals. What are you most excited about this fellowship? I look forward to building in-depth policy knowledge and research experience on the intersection of trade, environment and food security. [https://files.constantcontact.com/4b5923da701/a66d15ba-21e0-4317-a704-88c65…] What are you most excited about this fellowship? Rarely does knowledge from research publications reach policymakers in a timely manner. I am particularly excited about the opportunity to work closely with leading experts who may help bridge the “knowledge to action” gap and the prospect of working with a transdisciplinary team around untangling the complexities of food systems. Kushank is passionate about the bi-directional relationship between food systems and climate change: how food systems can curb climate change, and systemic risks posed by climate change to food systems. Trained as a disciplinary geoscientist, he pivoted from utilizing his skills in resource extraction towards the interdisciplinarity required to work on problems at the intersection of food-water-climate. Before starting his PhD, Kushank worked both with grassroot and research organizations. Currently pursuing his PhD at the Institute for Resources, Environment and Sustainability at the University of British Columbia, Kushank studies systemic climate risks and food system resilience. Some of his projects include understanding cross-border climate vulnerabilities to food supply, defining and measuring novel weather risks using a bottom-up approach, and on-farm climate action in the Canadian context.

When agri-food products are exported and imported, countries are engaging in virtual water trade (VWT). Tracking VWT can inform water resource allocation policy to improve water conservation and address water scarcity. The map distinguishes net exporters of virtual water (blue) from net importers (orange). The darker the colour, the greater the exporter or importer. The most recent data available were 2016 for crop products and 2020 for animal products (CWASI, 2021)<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0017NPwyKK4O6bZiMPp4CNGvWoSQkMvWXO8sWlRpuUOCe_…>. China is by far the largest virtual water importer, mostly in the form of soybeans. Incidentally, soybeans account for 45% of virtual water exports from Brazil – the world’s largest net exporter of virtual water. Canada is a moderate net virtual water exporter, leaving the country mostly in the form of canola and wheat. Although useful, tracking VWT at a global level does not take into account regional variability such as water deficits in the southern Prairies. Tracking VWT at the regional level and then adjusting cropping patterns and trade accordingly could help balance out regional water surpluses and deficits (Dimitropoulos, 2020)<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0017NPwyKK4O6bZiMPp4CNGvWoSQkMvWXO8sWlRpuUOCe_…>.

This chapter, written by Hugo Tremblay, provides an overview of legislation in Alberta and Québec. Both provinces’ water acts and regulations originate from common law which states that a landowner may use the water on their own land as they wish, as long as it does not negatively affect downstream users, such as pollution or significant flow reduction. Québec’s legal framework today reflects its relative abundance of water, its high industrial usage of water for hydroelectricity production, and intense agricultural activity in the St. Lawrence River Basin. Alberta’s water allocation regime reflects its semi-arid climate and water scarcity through prioritization of agricultural irrigation over industrial uses. With other chapters dedicated to country-specific case studies, economics, and Indigenous water rights, this book can inform continued efforts and policymaking to ensure sustainable water use in Canadian agriculture.

Lorsque des produits agroalimentaires sont exportés et importés, les pays s'engagent dans le commerce de l'eau virtuelle. Le suivi du commerce d'eau virtuelle peut contribuer à l'élaboration d'une politique d'allocation des ressources en eau visant à améliorer la conservation de l'eau et à lutter contre la pénurie d'eau. La carte distingue les exportateurs nets d'eau virtuelle (bleu) des importateurs nets (orange). Plus la couleur est foncée, plus important est le volume exporté ou importé. Les données disponibles les plus récentes sont celles de 2016 pour les produits végétaux et de 2020 pour les produits animaux (CWASI, 2021).<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0017NPwyKK4O6bZiMPp4CNGvWoSQkMvWXO8sWlRpuUOCe_…> La Chine est de loin le plus grand importateur d'eau virtuelle, principalement sous la forme de soja. Par ailleurs, le soja représente 45% des exportations d'eau virtuelle du Brésil, premier exportateur net d'eau virtuelle au monde. Le Canada est un exportateur net modéré d'eau virtuelle, qui quitte le pays principalement sous forme de canola et de blé. Bien qu'utile, le suivi de l’eau virtuelle au niveau mondial ne tient pas compte de la variabilité régionale, comme les déficits en eau dans le sud des Prairies. Le suivi au niveau régional, puis l'ajustement des modèles de culture et des échanges en conséquence, pourraient contribuer à équilibrer les excédents et les déficits hydriques régionaux (Dimitropoulos, 2020)<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0017NPwyKK4O6bZiMPp4CNGvWoSQkMvWXO8sWlRpuUOCe_…>.

Ce chapitre, rédigé par Hugo Tremblay, donne un aperçu de la législation en Alberta et au Québec. Les lois et règlements sur l'eau des deux provinces sont issus du droit commun qui stipule qu'un propriétaire peut utiliser l'eau sur ses propres terres comme il le souhaite, à condition que cela n'ait pas d'effets négatifs sur les utilisateurs en aval, tels que la pollution ou une réduction importante du débit. Le cadre juridique actuel du Québec reflète sa relative abondance en eau, sa forte utilisation industrielle de l'eau pour la production d'hydroélectricité, et l'intense activité agricole dans le bassin du fleuve Saint-Laurent. Le régime d'allocation de l'eau de l'Alberta reflète son climat semi-aride et la rareté de l'eau en donnant la priorité à l'irrigation agricole par rapport aux utilisations industrielles. Avec d'autres chapitres consacrés à des études de cas spécifiques à certains pays, à l'économie, et aux droits indigènes sur l'eau, cet ouvrage peut contribuer à la poursuite des efforts et à l’élaboration de politiques visant à garantir une utilisation durable de l'eau dans l'agriculture canadienne.
