dc.description.abstract	This paper profiles the greenhouse industry in British Columbia, and seeks out the issue of climate change. It concludes that the industry is expanding and is an important economic contributor to the economy of the province. It is also an industry that employs a large number of foreign migrant workers, who like most other workers in the industry, are on temporary employment basis. This has consequences for workers. The author argues that climate change has yet to be forcibly articulated by the stakeholders in the industry and thus a significant gap exists in the literature, and only through interviews and case study analysis with stakeholders in the industry, will we begin to pull out and understand the issues that implicate climate change in the greenhouse industry.	en
