This irrigation report highlights Canada’s significant underutilization of irrigation infrastructure, with only about 2% of farmland currently irrigated. Despite Canada’s large agricultural footprint, its irrigation penetration lags far behind global peers. The report identifies Alberta and Saskatchewan as the primary regions for existing irrigation, with both provinces offering the water access and crop suitability needed to support expansion. Canada has the potential to increase its irrigated acreage by up to 400%, representing a substantial investable opportunity.

Irrigation is positioned as a catalyst for improving farmland productivity, enabling access to higher-value crops, and driving land value appreciation. View Full Report
