Canada’s Agriculture: Interactive Map
Explore Canada’s crop geography, major farming regions and agricultural specializations — from Prairie grains and oilseeds to Ontario greenhouses, Quebec dairy and maple production, Atlantic potatoes and British Columbia horticulture.
See where Canadian agriculture happens
The map combines an optional Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada 2025 Annual Crop Inventory satellite layer with representative agricultural-region markers. The AAFC layer maps crop and land-cover classes at 30-metre resolution, while the markers explain the major commodities associated with important farming regions.
Use the controls to turn the satellite crop layer on or off, adjust its opacity, filter agricultural sectors and search for a region or commodity. Select a marker to view more detail and follow the primary-source link.
Prairie grains, oilseeds and pulses
Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba form the core of Canada’s grain and oilseed economy. Wheat and canola occupy enormous areas, while Saskatchewan is especially important for pulses such as lentils and peas. Cattle production is also strongly concentrated in Alberta and Saskatchewan.
Ontario and Quebec
Southern Ontario and Quebec combine field crops with intensive livestock and horticulture. Ontario leads nationally in corn, soybean and winter-wheat acreage and has the country’s largest greenhouse footprint, while Quebec is a major centre for dairy, hogs, poultry, maple and cranberries.
British Columbia and Atlantic Canada
British Columbia’s Fraser Valley and Okanagan support dairy, poultry, berries, greenhouse production, tree fruit and grapes. Atlantic agriculture is more regionally specialized, with potatoes in Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick, apples in Nova Scotia and important dairy and horticultural production across the region.
Satellite crop inventory
AAFC’s Annual Crop Inventory uses satellite imagery and ground information to classify individual fields and land cover. The 2025 inventory is the newest completed national layer included here. Because it is a government raster service, the detailed crop colours are supplied directly by AAFC rather than redrawn by Canadian Country Life.
Important map note
The coloured crop layer is an official AAFC remote-sensing product. The circular markers are representative agricultural regions, not legal boundaries or claims that production stops outside the marked area. Farm patterns change over time, and the latest completed Census of Agriculture currently available is 2021. For field-level interpretation, production decisions or regulatory use, consult the original government datasets.
