2021 Census of Agriculture

Summary of the 2021 Census of Agriculture for the Kingston Census Metropolitan Area (CMA)

A picture of Canada would not be incomplete without current information about agriculture, which plays an important role in the Canadian economy and landscape. Agriculture data have been collected in Canada since the first census in 1666, and a more modern version of the Census of Agriculture has been conducted every five years since 1956, together with the Census of Population. 

Every five years, the Census of Agriculture provides a comprehensive and integrated profile of the physical, economic, social and environmental aspects of Canada’s agriculture industry; it is the only data source that consistently provides high-quality detailed statistical information on agriculture for small geographic areas. It collects a wide range of data at the national, provincial and subprovincial levels, such as the number of farms and farm operators, farm area, farm size, farm type, land use, crop areas, land management practices, livestock inventories, business operating arrangements, farm operating revenues, farm operating expenses, farm capital, and farm machinery.
