- 1. Farm Environmental Management in Canada ArchivedJournals and periodicals: 21-021-MGeography: CanadaDescription:
The series Farm Environmental Management in Canada presents key information on agri-environmental practices used on Canadian farms. The series includes several articles on themes such as manure storage, manure application, water management, chemical inputs use and sustainable land management practices. These analyses are supported by data from the 2001 Farm Environmental Management Survey (FEMS) and supplemented with information from the 2001 Census of Agriculture. FEMS is the only dedicated national source of information on a broad range of farming practices that impact on the environment.
The FEMS survey collects farm-level information on manure management practices, sustainable grazing systems, crop nutrient management, pesticides application practices, land and water management practices (including irrigation farming practices), and whole farm environmental management. It provides benchmark information for anyone with an interest in agri-environmental issues.
Release date: 2007-11-06 - 2. Water Management on Canadian Farms ArchivedArticles and reports: 21-021-M2007001Geography: CanadaDescription:
The analysis contained in this article is based on results from the 2001 Farm Environmental Management Survey (FEMS). It presents information on various practices used to manage water on Canadian farms. Practices surveyed are divided in two groupings: those used to protect natural sources of water - maintaining vegetation on areas adjacent to natural sources of water, management of grazing livestock, conservation measures for natural wetland areas, and disposal of milkhouse wash water and toxic wastes; and those related to the use of water for farming and household activities types of irrigation systems and testing of domestic water.
Results show that farm practices impacting water quality and quantity are significantly used by Canadian farmers. Higher adoption rates of environmental measures could likely be achieved to reduce agriculture's environmental footprint. These results can assist governments, farmers and non-governmental organizations in targeting actions and in the promotion and development of new farm environmental programs and practices.
Release date: 2007-11-06 - Articles and reports: 96-325-X200700010369Geography: CanadaDescription:
Until the mid-1970s, soybeans were restricted by climate primarily to southern Ontario. Intensive breeding programs have since opened up more widespread growing possibilities for this incredibly versatile crop in Canada: The 1.2 million hectares of soybeans reported on the Census of Agriculture in 2006 marked a near eightfold increase in area since 1976, the year the ground-breaking varieties that perform well in Canada's shorter growing season were introduced.
Release date: 2007-10-26 - Journals and periodicals: 82-620-MGeography: CanadaDescription:
This publication presents a series of research articles based on cross-sectional data collected from Cycle 2.2 of the Canadian Community Health Survey, focusing on Nutrition. It also provides links to tables, other research articles and information about the survey.
Release date: 2007-10-05 - 5. Sodium consumption at all ages ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X20060049608Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article examines the amount of sodium that Canadians consume by age and sex, and compare it to recommended levels of sodium intake. The main sources of sodium are considered. Comparisons are made with daily sodium intake in the United States. The data are from the 2004 Canadian Community Health Survey.
Release date: 2007-05-22 - 6. Canadians' eating habits ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X20060049609Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article is an overview of Canadians' eating habits: total calories consumed and the number of servings from the various food groups, as well as the percentage of total calories from fat, protein and carbohydrates. The data are from the 2004 Canadian Community Health Survey.
