Census of Agriculture
Statistics Canada conducts the Census of Agriculture to develop a statistical portrait of Canada's farms and its agricultural operators. Every five years, the Census of Agriculture provides a comprehensive and integrated profile of the physical, economic, social and environmental aspects of Canada's agriculture industry; it is the only data source that consistently provides high-quality detailed statistical information on agriculture for small geographic areas. It collects a wide range of data at the national, provincial and subprovincial levels, such as the number of farms and farm operators, farm area, farm size, farm type, land use, crop areas, land management practices, livestock inventories, business operating arrangements, farm operating revenues, farm operating expenses, farm capital, and farm machinery. The Census of Agriculture not only provides a snapshot in time of the agriculture industry, but is also essential for understanding changes over time, thus serving as a basis for informed public and private decision making.
