In 2015, the Earth Observation Team of the Science and Technology Branch (STB) at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) repeated the process of generating annual crop inventory digital maps using satellite imagery to for all of Canada, in support of a national crop inventory. A Decision Tree (DT) based methodology was applied using optical (Landsat-8) and radar (RADARSAT-2) based satellite images, and having a final spatial resolution of 30m. In conjunction with satellite acquisitions, ground-truth information was provided by provincial crop insurance companies and point observations from the BC Ministry of Agriculture and our regional AAFC colleagues.

The “Biomass Agriculture Inventory 1-in-20 Probability” dataset is a table that contains the estimated 1-in-20 year low for agricultural residue yield and crop production for each Biomass Report Framework. It provides the fifth percentile values for the years 1985-2016. The table includes straw or stover information for barley, wheat, flax, oats and corn, and crop information for barley, wheat, flax, oats, corn, canola and soybean. This dataset also includes information about the type of tillage used in the area and demand for straw used for cattle bedding and feed. These values are derived from Statistics Canada data. Additionally, the dataset includes the amount of agricultural residue calculated as necessary to remain on the field to prevent soil degradation. Soil degradation is determined by the type of tillage in use as well as the landscape type of the area.

Small area data (SAD) on field crops show seeded and harvested area, yield and production estimates for most principal field crops and some special crops in Canada. Most SAD geographies correspond exactly with the Census Agriculture Region (CAR) limits, excepts for some regions of Quebec (where small areas are defined by provincial administrative boundaries), Saskatchewan (where small areas coincide with census divisions boundaries as of 2017) and British Columbia. For exact correspondence between Census Agricultural Regions (CAR) and Small Area Data (SAD) Regions, see the following link: https://www.statcan.gc.ca/eng/statistical-programs/document/3401_D2_V2 These regions are associated with Statistics Canada estimates on principal field crops available in the following table: https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.action?pid=3210000201

The “Municipal Solid Waste Biomass Inventory” dataset is a stand-alone product that provides information on the calculated amount of Municipal Solid Waste within each BIMAT grid cell that includes a population centre. Data was provided by National Research Council Canada, with estimates based on census data collected in 2016. This dataset was calculated using an area-weighted analysis between population centres across Canada, Municipal Solid Waste data and the Biomass Report Framework fishnet. It includes information for total residential municipal solid waste, total organic waste (food and yard) and total paper waste.

This data shows spatial density of flax cultivation in Canada. Regions with higher calculated spatial densities represent agricultural regions of Canada in which flax 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 flax based on analysis of the 2009 to 2021 AAFC annual crop inventory data.

Feature point layer showing locations of community kitchens available for rent in Manitoba This feature point layer shows locations of community kitchens available for rent in Manitoba. Each kitchen has a Food Service Establishment permit issued by Manitoba Health, and is a suitable facility to produce value-added food products for sale. For more information, visit Manitoba Agriculture. This layer is used in the Manitoba Commercial Community Kitchens map and the Commercial Community Kitchens in Manitoba application. Fields included [Alias (Field Name): Field description] UID (UID): Unique identifier for the kitchen Operating (Operating): Indicates whether or not the kitchen is currently in operation Facility Name (Facility_Name): Name of the kitchen Region (Region): Economic region in which the kitchen is located Address (Address): Physical address of the kitchen City or Town (City_or_Town): City or town in which the kitchen is located Phone (Phone): Phone number for the kitchen Website (Website): Website link for the kitchen Equipment (Equipment): List of available equipment in the kitchen Contact (Contact): Contact person for the kitchen Contact Email (Contact_Email): Email address of contact person for the kitchen Contact Phone (Contact_Phone): Phone number of contact person for the kitchen Secondary Contact (Secondary_Contact): Secondary contact person for the kitchen Secondary Contact Email (Secondary_Contact_Email): Email address of secondary contact person for the kitchen Secondary Contact Phone (Secondary_Contact_Phone): Phone number of secondary contact person for the kitchen Latitude (Latitude): Latitudinal coordinates of the representative centre of the feature in decimal degrees Longitude (Longitude): Longitudinal coordinates of the representative centre of the feature in decimal degrees

The Grain Elevators in Canada – 2015 dataset maps the list of grain elevators in Canada as provided by the Canadian Grain Commission (CGC). The elevators have been located as much as possible to an actual location rather than generalizing to the station name centroid. Additionally car spot information from CN, CP and the grain companies has been added where this has been published. This dataset attempts to provide a temporal and geographical extent of the grain elevators in Canada.

Web app showing locations of co-packer services in Manitoba. This web application shows the locations of co-packer services in Manitoba. A contract manufacturer or co-packer is a company that manufactures and/or packages food for other companies to sell. This list is not inclusive nor an endorsement for services. For more information, visit Manitoba Agriculture. This app uses the Manitoba Co-Packer Services feature layer and the Manitoba Co-Packer Services Map.
