- Articles and reports: 21-004-X200900210942Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article highlights the key agricultural events in 2008.
Release date: 2009-11-10 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X200900410933Geography: CanadaDescription:
This study examines the association between obesity and the relative percentages of fats, carbohydrates, protein and fibre in the diets of Canadians. The data are from the 2004 Canadian Community Health Survey - Nutrition.
Release date: 2009-10-21 - Articles and reports: 16-002-X200900310927Geography: CanadaDescription:
Water is essential for crop production, whether it is provided by rain or irrigation. Although relatively few farms in Canada irrigate, this use of water can represent a significant portion of water use in some areas of the country. This article presents information on the use of irrigation in 2007.
Release date: 2009-09-24 - 4. Diet quality in Canada ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X200900310914Geography: CanadaDescription:
Because nutrition recommendations in Canada and the United States are similar, the American Healthy Eating Index can be adapted to the Canadian situation. This article presents an adaptation of that index and outlines results for Canada based on data from the 2004 Canadian Community Health Survey - Nutrition.
Release date: 2009-08-19 - 5. Food in Canada ArchivedArticles and reports: 16-201-X200900010878Geography: CanadaDescription: The feature article, Food in Canada, begins with a brief historical perspective on fishing and farming in Canada and moves on to explore the impact of the food system on the economy, environment and society. It illustrates how the contribution of the food system to gross domestic product and employment has shifted over the past forty years, and investigates the impact of primary food production on land, water, air and climate. The article concludes with a characterization of what is on the Canadian table, and the greenhouse gas emissions and energy-use associated with household food purchases.Release date: 2009-06-09
- Journals and periodicals: 18-504-XGeography: Province or territoryDescription: Remote Sensing and Geospatial Analysis (RSGA) of the Agriculture Division prepared a series of maps and statistics that show the progression of the 2009 Red River valley flood in Manitoba for the spring of 2009. Starting with an image acquired on March 31, the maps were produced from the analysis of Radarsat-2 satellite image data integrated with 2006 Census of Agriculture data and census geography boundary files. From this analysis, the total area of flooded agriculture land and the number of farmers affected were calculated. A comparison is made with the 1997 flood that occurred in the same region.Release date: 2009-05-11
- 7. Sour cherries in Canada ArchivedArticles and reports: 96-325-X200700010775Geography: CanadaDescription:
What could be better than a home-made cherry pie coming fresh out of the oven, with the wonderful smell of rich cherries and bright red juice. Historically there have been two main types of cherries; sweet cherries which we eat fresh from the tree and farmers markets in the summer, and sour cherries, which we find in a variety of processed forms. Sour cherries are aptly named for their sour flavour compared to the regular sweet cherries. Canadian plant breeders have been working to produce a third type of cherry, one that combines the best traits of both sweet and sour cherries.
Release date: 2009-04-03 - 8. Canola: a Canadian success story ArchivedArticles and reports: 96-325-X200700010778Geography: CanadaDescription:
With its vibrant yellow flowers, a canola field is a beautiful sight. And its colour is a clue to its family history mustard. Canola refers to a particular group of rapeseed varieties, a species of the much larger mustard family that includes, besides mustard, turnips, cauliflower, cabbage and broccoli. While these plants have been bred for their roots (turnips), leaves (cabbage) or immature flower heads (cauliflower and broccoli), the rapeseed branch of the family was bred to maximize production of the high-oil seeds that are used to produce vegetable oil.
Release date: 2009-04-03 - Articles and reports: 16-002-X200900110821Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article presents information on nitrogen and phosphorus generated through manure production and maps the intensity of nitrogen and phosphorus production by sub-sub-drainage area.
Release date: 2009-03-26 - 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).
