Mapping Indigenous Businesses in the Agriculture/Agri-food Sector in Canada

This research project sets out to conduct a comprehensive literature review on Indigenous agriculture in Canada. We collect information about different sources of data that could be put in use to provide insight into Indigenous engagement in the Agriculture/Agri-food sector across the country. We will review the current Statistics Canada’s databases to explore data overlaying options to compile new datasets on Indigenous engagement in the Agriculture/Agri-food sector. Using these data, we will map Indigenous agribusinesses across Canada. The results will inform policy makers of what data is available and what information will need to be collected in the future.
