Question

What does it indicate when a country such as Canada has a small percentage of its population dedicated to agriculture?

Answer 1

When a small percentage of a country does agriculture, then it indicates that the country relies heavily on food imports from other countries. If they do not grow their own, let's say, vegetables or fruits, then they have to get the necessary staple foods from imports. It will most likely also indicate that the country is trying to be more industrialized focusing more on other industries as compared to concentrating on growing food, plants, and crops. It may also indicate that the country's land is not very conducive for growing a lot of kinds of crops.
