This article uses information from the "Agriculture–Population Linkage" (this linkage combines data from the Census of Agriculture with the Census of Population) to provide a socioeconomic profile of Canada's farm population. Canada's farm population comprises farm operators (people responsible for the management decisions in operating a farm) and the individuals in their households. In 2021, the farm population (590,710 people) represented 1.6% of the total population in Canada.
