The national agricultural ecumene includes all dissemination areas with 'significant' agricultural activity. Agricultural indicators, such as the ratio of agricultural land on census farms relative to total land area, and total economic value of agricultural production, are used. Regional variations are also taken into account. The ecumene is generalized for small-scale mapping. A new version of the agricultural ecumene is generated every census year (in vector format) since 1986. This file was produced by Statistics Canada, Agriculture Division, Remote Sensing and Geospatial Analysis section, 2022, Ottawa.
