This market research with Vietnamese consumers collected baseline consumer perceptions and stated behaviours of Canadian products and processes, and evolving market demands to help inform the upcoming strategic approach for the Canada Brand marketing campaign. Specific objectives of the research include, but are not limited to, providing AAFC with data on: Vietnamese food purchasing behaviours, Vietnamese media consumption habits, Canadian agriculture, food and seafood product awareness, Canadian food and seafood product purchase frequency, and demand for Canadian food and seafood products. The findings of the research are used in the development of policies, programs and initiatives, to improve communications and …
Industry classification system that classifies economic units that have similar production processes in the same industry. This is a supply-based or production-oriented economic concept. [Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy Canada]
Insolvency Statistics in Canada by Forward Sortation Area (FSA)
A forward sortation area (FSA) is a way to designate a geographical unit based on the first three characters in a Canadian postal code. All postal codes that start with the same three characters—for example, K1A—are together considered an FSA. [Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy Canada]
This is the third wave of AAFC’s Strategic Issues Survey of Food and Beverage Processors; previous waves were conducted in 2017 and 2018. The survey is intended to gain critical insights on the opinions, issues and challenges faced by Canadian processors. The findings will be used in the development of policies, programs and initiatives to better serve the sector. This wave of the survey builds on tracking questions from previous waves on issues to identify trends over time; this includes public trust and evaluating the Canadian Agricultural Partnership using AAFC's performance indicators. This wave also provides insights on new and …
Appearance by the Minister of Minister of Families, Children and Social Development, Karina Gould, before the Standing Committee on Human Resources, Skills and Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities (HUMA) – Study: Supplementary Estimates (B) 2022 to 2023 – February 14, 2023
AAFC has been conducting the Strategic Issues Survey, a survey of producers, since 2007. The research is designed to provide insight into the views of producers on current agricultural issues in Canada and on priorities and policies that affect the agriculture and agri-food sector. The survey builds on tracking questions from previous waves to note trends over time but also provides insights on new and evolving areas of interest to AAFC. This wave of research includes a focus on sustainability, along with other upcoming priorities. This year’s research also continues to track benchmarks of the department’s multi-year agricultural policy framework, …
An exploratory fishery was carried out in the Mackenzie River Delta between 1989 and 1993 at the request of the Inuvik Hunters and Trappers Committee to assess the commercial fishery potential in this area. Data collected during this exploratory fishery was used in two technical reports. Broad whitefish were the target species of this fishery (DFO Technical Report 2180), however other species such as northern pike, inconnu, and lake whitefish were also harvested (DFO Technical Report 2330).
Biological data from broad whitefish (fork length, age, gonadosomatic index and instantaneous mortality) were analyzed to assess the impact of an exploratory fishery …
A derivative of DFO’s benthic species survey for the Strategic Program for Ecosystem-based Research and Advice (SPERA) (open data record ID: e736c0f0-b19e-4842-903d-28bfc756d48a), this benthic survey funded through the Canadian Healthy Oceans Network (CHONeII) looks at the presence/absence and abundance of two biogenic habitat-forming species that are listed as vulnerable to disturbance in a subset of 50 drift camera transects in the ‘Head Harbour/West Isles Archipelago/The Passages’ Ecologically and Biologically Significant Area (EBSA) in the Bay of Fundy, New Brunswick, Canada (~113km2). Presence/absence and abundance data of the stalked sea squirt (Boltenia ovifera) and horse mussel (Modiolus modiolus) were derived from …
MODIS-Aqua Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) was acquired from the NASA Ocean Biology Processing Group where Chl-a concentration was calculated using the OC3/OCI method. The months of January and December were excluded from these datasets, as data in the winter months at higher latitudes are missing due to low sun angle preventing acquisition. The monthly geometric mean value at all pixels was calculated for individual years, then the geometric mean and geometric standard deviation factor of chlorophyll-a were calculated by month from these images. These methods of calculating mean and standard deviation were used due to the log-normal distribution of chlorophyll-a. The geometric …
Prospectivity model highlights areas of Canada with the greatest potential for clastic-dominated zinc deposits. The preferred prospectivity model is based on public geological, geochemical, and geophysical datasets that were spatially indexed using the H3 discrete global grid system. Each H3 cell is associated with a prospectivity value, or class probability, calculated from the best-performing gradient boosting machines model. Model results are filtered to include the top 20% of prospectivity values for visualization purposes.
