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.

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 data shows spatial density of forage crops in Canada. Regions with higher calculated spatial densities represent agricultural regions of Canada in which forage crops are more expected. Results are provided as rasters with numerical values for each pixel indicating the spatial density calculated for that location. Higher spatial density values represent higher likelihood to have forage crops based on analysis of the 2009 to 2021 AAFC annual crop inventory data.

This data shows spatial density of peas cultivation in Canada. Regions with higher calculated spatial densities represent agricultural regions of Canada in which peas are more expected. Results are provided as rasters with numerical values for each pixel indicating the spatial density calculated for that location. Higher spatial density values represent higher likelihood to have peas based on analysis of the 2009 to 2021 AAFC annual crop inventory data.

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 density calculated for that location. Higher spatial density values represent higher likelihood to have winter wheat based on analysis of the 2009 to 2021 AAFC annual crop inventory data.

The ‘Land use allocation to Soils and Landforms by year’ dataset links agricultural land use activities to soils and landscapes within Soil Landscapes of Canada (SLC) polygons. The land use allocations to soils area datasets were generated on an annual time step (1971-2015). Agricultural land use is categorized and allocated based on the following general land use types: Annual cropland, Perennial cropland, Specialty Crops, Improved pasture and Unimproved Pasture.

This data shows spatial density of spring wheat cultivation in Canada. Regions with higher calculated spatial densities represent agricultural regions of Canada in which spring wheat is more expected. Results are provided as rasters with numerical values for each pixel indicating the spatial density calculated for that location. Higher spatial density values represent higher likelihood to have spring wheat based on analysis of the 2009 to 2021 AAFC annual crop inventory data.

This data shows spatial density of canary seed cultivation in Canada. Regions with higher calculated spatial densities represent agricultural regions of Canada in which canary seed is more expected. Results are provided as rasters with numerical values for each pixel indicating the spatial density calculated for that location. Higher spatial density values represent higher likelihood to have canary seed based on analysis of the 2009 to 2021 AAFC annual crop inventory data.

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 calculated for that location. Higher spatial density values represent higher likelihood to have pulses based on analysis of the 2009 to 2021 AAFC annual crop inventory data. Pulses consist of the following specfic crops types from the AAFC annual crop inventory; Pulses, Beans, Black Beans, Cranberry Beans, Faba Beans, Great Northern Beans, Kidney Beans, Lima Beans, Pinto Beans, Navy Beans, Red Beans, White Beans, Other Beans, Lentils, Peas, Chick Peas, Field Peas, White Peas, Other Peas, and Other Pulse

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 calculated for that location. Higher spatial density values represent higher likelihood to have Cereals based on analysis of the 2009 to 2021 AAFC annual crop inventory data. Cereals consist of the following specific crop types from the AAFC annual crop inventory; Cereals, Barley (including Spring and Winter), Greenfeed / Mixed Cereals, Millet, Oats, Rye (including Spring and Winter), Spelt, Triticale (including Spring and Winter), Wheat (including Spring and Winter), and Other Cereal
