Canadian Agriculture & Food

Development Canadian agriculture has been in development and has greatly changed since World War II Economy growth and social changes caused changes in the ways Canada produces, processes, handles and sells food.

The Great Depression The worldwide Great Depression of the early 1930s was a social and economic shock that left millions of Canadians unemployed, hungry and often homeless.

The Great Depression Due to Canada’s heavy dependence on raw material and farm exports, combined with a crippling Prairies drought. Widespread losses of jobs and savings ultimately transformed the country.

A relatively small proportion of Canada's land area is suitable for farming (about seven per cent). Of this farmable area, the majority (more than 80 per cent) is located in Western Canada. Some 38 per cent of total farmland is in Saskatchewan, while Alberta and Manitoba contain 31 per cent and 11 per cent, respectively. Ontario accounts for eight per cent of farmland, Québec for five, British Columbia for four, while Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island each account for less than one per cent and Newfoundland and Labrador for a fraction of one per cent.

Differences in Regions Farm size has continued to grow, this varies considerably by region, reflecting regional differences in the types of farming: differences in soils, climates, topography and proximity to markets. The largest acreage farms are found in the Prairie region of Western Canada, where there are many land-extensive crop farms that produce oilseeds (mainly canola), wheat, barley and other crops.

Beef production also tends to be concentrated in this region. Average farm size in Saskatchewan, in which grain farming predominates, is 675 ha, or over two times the national average. Farms are similarly large in Alberta, where in addition to crop farming there is much beef production. Here, farms average 472 ha, or just over one and half times the national average. In Manitoba, the third Prairie province, farms average 459 ha.

Average farm size is much smaller in British Columbia (132 ha), Québec (113 ha), Ontario (99 ha) and the Atlantic provinces (ranging from an average 161 ha in PEI to 61 ha in Newfoundland and Labrador). These regions include relatively large numbers of dairy and poultry farms that produce milk, chickens, turkeys and eggs.

These provinces, in addition to Manitoba, also include much hog production. Corn and soybeans are major crops in Ontario and Québec Vegetables and fruits are largely concentrated in Ontario, Québec, the Atlantic provinces and British Columbia.

Current Issues Since the beginning of the 21st century, world prices for agricultural products have tended to increase. Explanations include relatively slow increases in productivity of major crops (attributed to insufficient agricultural research and poor policies for agriculture in some nations).
