This dataset comprises agricultural data from the 2016 and 2021 Agricultural Censuses conducted by Statistics Canada. It includes information on farm types, geographic distribution, farm sizes, and technology adoption for both census years. Additionally, there is demographic data on farm operators' age and gender for the 2021 Census.
The dataset provides insights into key agricultural factors for evidence-based policy and innovation design. It covers the 2016 and 2021 censuses, featuring three datasets: one detailing farm operator demographics and two detailing the number of farmers by region, farm type, farm size, and the number of farmers that have adopted technologies. The types of technologies differ between the two census periods. Data suppression is not applied to this dataset. Geographical regions are based on the 10 provinces (excluding the three territories), farm types are categorized by NAICS codes (3 digits), and farm size is measured in acres.
