- Journals and periodicals: 21-004-XGeography: CanadaDescription:
Each issue contains a short article highlighting statistical insights on themes relating to agriculture, food and rural issues.
Release date: 2023-11-30 - Table: 32-10-0357-01Geography: Canada, Province or territory, Census division, Census agricultural region, Census consolidated subdivisionFrequency: Every 5 yearsDescription:
Census of Agriculture, 2021. Land in nursery products and land in sod grown for sale.
Release date: 2022-05-11 - Data Visualization: 71-607-X2020025Description: This interactive data visualization tool pools estimates from several agricultural surveys focusing on crop production. It presents data on areas, production and sales of various agricultural products. Data is broken down by crop type including field crops, fruits, maple products, ornamental products, potatoes and vegetables.
Users can use the different variables to compare or analyze the evolution over time of area, production or sale of agricultural products.
Data are available at the national and provincial level for a period dependent on each survey, but extending as far as 1908.
Release date: 2021-01-12 - Articles and reports: 21-006-X2008001Geography: CanadaDescription:
This bulletin is a summary of a larger working paper which contains more details on the theoretical framework, data and variable selection, estimation procedure, probability estimates and some mapping and simulation analysis (Alasia et Al. 2007).
Release date: 2009-03-09 - Articles and reports: 21-006-X2005001Geography: CanadaDescription:
This bulletin examines the trends in agricultural and non-agricultural land use across Canada from 1951-2001. The analysis updates the earlier reports by Hofmann(2001) and Statistics Canada (2001).
Release date: 2005-01-31 - 6. Living with the Farm Next Door ArchivedSurveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 96-328-M2004005Description:
This activity looks at the competing interests and potential for conflict between very large livestock farms and their rural neighbours.
Release date: 2004-06-09 - 7. More than Just Farming: Employment in Agriculture and Agri-food in Rural and Urban Canada ArchivedArticles and reports: 21-006-X2002008Geography: CanadaDescription:
While the number of census-farms and farm operators is shrinking, the number of jobs in the agriculture and agri-food industry is growing. During the 15-year period from 1981 to 1996, the industry employed 15% of Canada's workforce.
Employment in the agri-food sector has grown faster than the overall Canadian economy and this has offset the decline in employment on farms. In 1981, more people worked on farms than worked in restaurants, bars and taverns. By 1996, this trend had reversed and employment in the food and beverage services sector far outstripped the number of workers on farms.
Food processing is often promoted as part of agricultural policy (to provide a local market for Canadian farmers) and as part of rural development policy (to create jobs in rural areas). However, in 1996, fewer people were working in Canada's food processing sector than in 1981. More food was processed (there was growth in the gross domestic product (GDP) of this sector), but fewer workers were involved. Rural regions adjacent to urban areas gained a greater share of food processing employment, making these regions relatively competitive in keeping food processing workforces.
Employment in the agricultural and agri-food sectors is growing, but the nature of the work and where it is being done is changing.
Release date: 2003-12-11 - 8. 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 - 9. Agricultural Statistics for Rural Development ArchivedArticles and reports: 21-601-M2001049Description:
This paper looks at the challenge of presenting agricultural statistics in their rural context, given that there is no special category of rural statistics.
Release date: 2001-06-18 - Articles and reports: 21-006-X2000007Geography: CanadaDescription:
The rural employment picture is changing quickly in Canada. As in most western nations, primary industries in Canada are losing jobs. This provides a challenge to national, provincial and local decision-makers to find new goods and services to export in order to help stabilise the employment levels in communities that are dependent upon primary sector employment. The purpose of this bulletin is to investigate the changing structure of primary sector employment in rural Canada in the 1980s and the 1990s. Specifically, we look at employment in the agricultural industry and employment in all other primary industries (i.e. fishing, logging and forestry, mining and oil and natural gas extraction, and hunting and trapping).

Release date: 2001-04-05 - 8. Livestock concentrations - Where are they? ArchivedArticles and reports: 21-004-X20010035612Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article gives a "snapshot" of where the larger concentrations of livestock were in May 1996. This information would be useful to planners, investors, non-governmental organizations, rural communities, and governments. This could help them decide where to expand livestock production without putting the environment at risk.
Release date: 2001-03-29 - 9. Understanding Rural Canada ArchivedJournals and periodicals: 21F0016XGeography: CanadaDescription:
Based on a presentation by Dr. Ivan Fellegi to the Federal Deputy Ministers' Committee on the Economic Renewal of Rural Canada in September l996, Understanding rural Canada uses charts and maps to present information on: rural demography showing population change and net migration by census division for the most recent 5-year period (l989 to l994); a focus on rural youth including information on education attained, plans for further education and ablility to use computers; rural employment, rural unemployment, rural employment in growing sectors and rural employment by small businesses; a classification of census divisions by level of average incomes and change in average incomes to show that many rural areas have lower incomes and their incomes are falling further behind; and, a typology of census divisions where rural areas are classified to rural nirvana areas, agro-rural areas, rural enclave areas, rural resourced areas and native north areas. This presentation was an outgrowth of the publication Rural Canada: a profile published by the federal Interdepartmental Committee on Rural and Remote Canada in March, l995.
