In 2009, in the midst of a global economic recession total investments on Canadian farms exceeded $11.4 billion, up from $8.2 billion in 2001. The latest research from Ivey School of Business Agri-food Innovation Centre, entitled "Investment and Growth on Canadian Farms 2001-2009," found over that period large farms on average increased their investments almost continuously while investments by small and medium farms were generally showing a downward trend.
