The Agri-Environmental Indicator Particulate Matter dataset provides an estimated net emissions of particulate matter from agricultural lands.

The Agri-Environmental Indicator Risk of Water Contamination by Coliforms provides two variables including the Soil Coliform Load and the Coliform Risk to Water. The Soil Coliform Load indicator is the estimated accumulation of coliforms on the soil and the Coliform Risk to Water indicator is the...

The Agri-Environmental Indicator Soil Cover Days dataset provides a calculation of the amount of time each year that the soil of Canada agricultural lands is covered by a crop, crop residues on its surface, or snow.

The Indicator of Risk of Water Contamination by nitrogen (IROWC-N) estimates the risk of water contamination by nitrogen leaching on agricultural lands in Canada from 1981 to 2016. High nitrate level ( > 10 mg N/L) in drinking water may lead to various health impacts including...

The Agri-Environmental Indicator Residual Soil Nitrogen (RSN) dataset estimates the amount of nitrogen remaining in the soil at the end of the growing season (after harvest) on Canadian agricultural lands annually.

The Agri-Environmental Indicator of Risk of Water Contamination by Phosphorus dataset estimates the relative risk of phosphorus loss from Soil Landscapes of Canada agricultural areas to surface water. The data series for this indicator consists of four (4) datasets: Annual P-Balance,...

This data series was compiled by AAFC and Statistics Canada using a combination of agroclimate data and satellite-derived Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) data for the current growing season. The forecast is made based on a statistical model using historical yield, climate and NDVI...

Wildlife habitat capacity is the extent and quality of habitat that can support a diversity of species. When we convert wilderness to agricultural land we lose a great deal of wildlife habitat capacity. However, we can manage agricultural land to regain some of this capacity. Agricultural land...

The "Agri-Environmental Indicator Risk of Soil Salinization" dataset estimates the risk of accumulation of soluble salts on agricultural lands in the Canadian Prairies. At high levels, the accumulation of these salts in soil and groundwater in the landscape can inhibit the growth of many plant...

This dataset series highlights the locations of research centres where scientists, technicians and staff work to create better opportunities for farmers and all Canadians through agricultural research and innovation.

This dataset highlights the network of Research and Development farms associated with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada that conduct research and collaborate with partners and stakeholders.

Small area data on field crops show seeded and harvested area, yield and production figures for most principal field crops and some special crops in Canada, at the census agricultural region level (except for Quebec, where small areas are defined by provincial administrative boundaries). The...

This data series was compiled by AAFC and Statistics Canada using a combination of agroclimate data and satellite-derived Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) data for the current growing season. The forecast is made based on a statistical model using historical yield, climate and NDVI...

This data shows spatial density of winter wheat cultivation in Canada. Regions with higher calculated spatial densities represent agricultural regions of Canada in which winter wheat is more expected. Results are provided as rasters with numerical values for each pixel indicating the spatial...

Animal registrations of both male and female Dairy Cattle and Goats from Artificial Insemination Sires and Embryo Transfers. Data Source: Canadian Livestock Records Corporation and/or Breed Associations as compiled by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Animal Industry Division.

This data shows spatial density of pulses cultivation in Canada. Regions with higher calculated spatial densities represent agricultural regions of Canada in which pulses are more expected. Results are provided as rasters with numerical values for each pixel indicating the spatial density...

This data shows spatial density of Barley cultivation in Canada. Regions with higher calculated spatial densities represent agricultural regions of Canada in which Barley is more expected. Results are provided as rasters with numerical values for each pixel indicating the spatial density...

This data shows spatial density of Cereals cultivation in Canada. Regions with higher calculated spatial densities represent agricultural regions of Canada in which Cereals are more expected. Results are provided as rasters with numerical values for each pixel indicating the spatial density...

This data shows spatial density of Canola cultivation in Canada. Regions with higher calculated spatial densities represent agricultural regions of Canada in which Canola is more expected. Results are provided as rasters with numerical values for each pixel indicating the spatial density...

This data shows spatial density of Soybean cultivation in Canada. Regions with higher calculated spatial densities represent agricultural regions of Canada in which Soybeans are more expected. Results are provided as rasters with numerical values for each pixel indicating the spatial density...
