- 1. Urban Consumption of Agricultural Land ArchivedArticles and reports: 21-006-X2001002Geography: CanadaDescription:
Many towns that started as agricultural trading centres have become successful and growing cities. Part of their original comparative advantage was their proximity to productive and fertile agricultural land. Now their continuing expansion is consuming this high-quality agricultural land. The purpose of this paper is to explore the amount of dependable agricultural land that has been lost to urbanisation.
Release date: 2001-09-05 - Articles and reports: 21-601-M2001048Description:
This paper investigates the relationship between livestock density within an area, farm intensity (number of animals per hectare at farm level) and farm size. It also examines whether large livestock farms are solely responsible for the high concentrations of animals.
Release date: 2001-05-29 - Thematic map: 16F0025XDescription:
This Statistics Canada publication is a collection of five annotated maps and graphs that describe the geographic distribution of manure in Canada by river basin. The amount of manure produced is estimated along with some of the major substances found in manure: (i) nitrogen, (ii) phosphorus, (iii) total coliform bacteria and (iv) fecal coliform bacteria.
The maps and figures presented in this report indicate that there are geographic areas in Canada characterized by higher levels of total livestock manure and related production of nitrogen, phosphorus and bacteria. Areas that repeatedly showed the highest levels were found in central and southern Alberta, southern Manitoba, southern Ontario, southeastern Quebec, parts of Prince Edward Island, the west Fraser River area in southern British Columbia and an area near Wolfville and Kentville, Nova Scotia.
