The Agri-Environmental Indicator (AEI) dataset series provides information that was created using indicators that assess the environmental impact of agricultural activities. These agri-environmental indicators integrate information on soils, climate and land surface features with statistics on land use and crop and livestock management practices. The datasets provide valuable, location-specific information on the overall environmental risks and conditions in agriculture across Canada and how these change over time.

This dataset series collects AEI data that is related to geographic features and can be represented on a map. Other types of AEI data are not included.

The datasets can be organized into the following major groups:

• Farm land management

• Soil health

• Water quality

• Air quality

• Food and beverage industry (not included)
