HALIFAX - A new study says that while agriculture is a major driver of Nova Scotia’s economy, the number of farms in the province has fallen sharply over the years.

The Nova Scotia Federation of Agriculture says farms contribute more than $900 million to the provincial GDP with dairy, eggs and berries among the top food items produced.
