Countries can collect basic agricultural data in population censuses to identify agricultural households and obtain frames. More extensive modules can also be included.
This document provides information about India's Agriculture Census program, including its history, methodology, and data collection process. Some key points:
- India has conducted an Agriculture Census every 5 years since 1970 to collect land usage and crop production statistics. Data is collected through a census of land records plus sample surveys.
- The current 2015-16 Census involved a 3-phase process to enumerate all agricultural holdings, collect detailed land use and crop data via sampling, and survey input use.
- Challenges include controlling errors from outdated land records and underreporting of tenancy. Innovations for 2015-16 included making schedules clearer and potentially extracting some data directly from computerized land records.
- Land statistics
Linking Population and Housing Censuses with Agricultural CensusesFAO
Linking population and housing censuses with agricultural censuses can provide benefits by reducing costs, improving frames, and increasing quality. The document discusses ways countries have coordinated these censuses, including using common concepts/classifications, sharing materials, and collecting agricultural data in the population census either as basic or frame items through a module. Country examples show collecting core agricultural data in the population census to provide the frame for a subsequent standalone agricultural census.

The document summarizes key information from the Regional Roundtable on the World Programme for the Census of Agriculture 2020 held in Trinidad and Tobago. It discusses two themes: Theme 13 on forestry, which includes items on woodland area and purpose; and Theme 15 on greenhouse gas emissions. Theme 15 includes new proposed items to collect data on livestock grazing practices, manure management, and crop residues that can help estimate agricultural GHG emissions. Country experiences from Italy and Chile providing examples of how they have collected forestry and environmental data in previous agricultural censuses are also summarized.
Agricultural Census 2011 – Seychelles ExperienceExternalEvents
The document summarizes Seychelles' experience conducting an Agricultural Census in 2011. Some key points:
- The 2011 Census used a two-part approach, collecting data on crops from both large commercial farms and a sample of households. Livestock data was only collected from large farms and households selling surplus crops.
- There were several challenges, including lack of resources, expertise in implementing agricultural censuses, and definitional problems distinguishing between crop production for own use versus sale.
- Lessons learned included the need for close collaboration between partners, combining existing capacities, and integrating agricultural data collection within the national statistical system. The Census informed plans to transition from paper-based to computer-assisted data collection for future cens

The document summarizes Canada's experience with identification and general characteristics collected in its Census of Agriculture. It discusses how Statistics Canada identifies and locates agricultural operations using administrative data and surveys. It also describes the questions asked in the Census of Agriculture regarding the legal status, sex, age, ethnicity, main purpose and economic activities of agricultural operators and their households. Charts are presented on topics like the proportion of income from agricultural production, time spent on and off-farm work, and the main agricultural activities of Canadian operations.
Linking Population and Housing Censuses with Agricultural CensusesFAO
This document discusses linking population and housing censuses with agricultural censuses. Coordinating the two censuses can reduce costs, improve agricultural census frames, and increase overall quality. Key advantages include cost reduction through shared infrastructure, a reliable frame for the agricultural census from population census listings, optimization of agricultural census sampling, and better defining agricultural census coverage. Countries can collect basic agricultural data in the population census to identify agricultural households and measure farm size. More extensive data can be collected through an optional agriculture module. Country experiences show integrated censuses and sharing of household listings and questions between the censuses.
The document discusses collecting community-level data along with agricultural census data. It provides background on community surveys in previous agricultural censuses. Reasons for collecting community data include uses for planning, monitoring development programs, and identifying vulnerable areas. Methodological considerations include defining community units and collection methods. Recommendations include limiting community items to key data and linking to other data sources. Country experiences from Nicaragua and Haiti provide examples of community survey content and organization.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

3. Background
Chapter 8 (Vol I) of the WCA 2020 is devoted to the description
of themes and items for the census. The Programme encompasses 15
themes comprising 128 items.
In Theme 1, some items from Programmes previous to WCA
2010 were reintroduced:
• Respondent for the agricultural holding
• Presence of hired manager
Some items are new :
• Proportion of income from holding’s agricultural production
• Main agricultural activity of the holding
• Sex of hired manager
• Age of hired manager

+ 0111 Presence of hired manager of the agricultural holding
+ 0112 Sex of hired manager of the agricultural holding
+ 0113 Age of hired manager of the agricultural holding
5. Item 0101: Identification and location of
agricultural holding
Type: essential and a frame item.
Reference period: census reference day.
Identification: usually includes holding’s name, holder’s name, holder’s
address and other contact information
Location: usually is the place where all, or most, of the agricultural
production occurs (where administrative or farm buildings and agricultural
machinery are located or, alternatively, where the majority of land is located)
How identify the location? Normally through a geographic coding system
(based on the administrative structure of the country; use of GPS or cadastral
maps)
Note: holding’s location may be different from the holder’s address.
5
6. Item 0101: Identification and location of
agricultural holding (contd.)
Holdings covered by the agricultural census need to be identified for several reasons:
• coverage checking,
• links with the population and other censuses and surveys,
• link with other sources,
• the list of holdings constitute an important component of every sampling frame of
the on-going system of agricultural surveys and in many cases, such list is the first
step for building (or updating) a farm register.
The location of the agricultural holding is needed to assign them to administrative
units or agro-ecological zones, which are key classification items in the tabulation of
agricultural census results
Therefore each holding should be unambiguously identified and its location defined
For the definition of an agricultural holding, see WCA 2020, Vol. 1, paragraph 6.2.
6
7. Item 0101: Identification and location of
agricultural holding (contd.)
An agricultural holding is an economic unit of agricultural production
under single management comprising all livestock kept and all land used
wholly or partly for agricultural production purposes.
The holding's land may consist of one or more parcels, located in one or
more separate areas or in one or more territorial or administrative
divisions, providing the parcels share the same production means, such as
labour, farm buildings, machinery or draught animals.
Thus, parcels of land, e.g. a few hundred kilometres apart should not be
considered part of the same holding because they cannot share the same
inputs.
7
8. Item 0101: Identification and location of
agricultural holding (contd.)
When the agricultural activity of the holding is operated across different
geographical areas or administrative units the location of parcels (and
livestock as well) could differ from the main location of the holding.
Countries should review the application of the definition to their local
conditions.
Countries may wish to:
use special sections in the census questionnare to collect key data (on
land) depending on the location of parcels (and livestock)
to define a holding as being within a single administrative unit, such
as a district or province.
8
9. Item 0102: Respondent for the
agricultural holding
Type: new item, additional item.
Reference period: census reference day.
Concept: Respondent is the person from whom data are collected about
the holding. The respondent should be someone sufficiently
knowledgeable to answer the census questions accurately; usually is the
holder or hired manager.
Importance: This item could be used for quality assessments and checks
9
10. Item 0103: Legal status of agricultural
holder
Type: essential item.
Reference period: census reference day.
Concept: A holding may be operated by:
• One civil person;
• A group of civil persons;
• A juridical person (such as a corporation, cooperative, governmental
institution, a church, etc.)
Importance: The legal status (type of holder) is an important classification item.
Holding’s sector: A holding may belong to the household sector (operated by
household members from one or different households) or to the non-household sector
(operated by a corporation, cooperative, a tribe, etc.)
Correspondence between legal status and the sector is not straightforward. It
depends on the country legal system and context.
10
11. Item 0104: Sex of agricultural holder
Type: essential item.
Reference period: census reference day.
Importance: This item is crucial for analyzing the gender aspects of
agricultural production. It also could be useful as a basis of sampling
frame for gender surveys.
Where to collect this information? Only in holdings belonging to the
household sector. In case of joint holders in a holding of the household
sector, the sex of each person should be reported.
11
12. Item 0105: Age of agricultural holder
Type: essential item.
Reference period: census reference day.
Importance: Age of holder is important for analyzing the relationship
between age and characteristics of agricultural holdings and also for
studying gender issues.
Where to collect this information? Only in holdings belonging to the
household sector. In case of joint holders in a holding of the household
sector, the age of each person should be reported.
For the definition of an agricultural holder, see WCA 2020, Vol. 1,
paragraphs 6.17- 6.19
12
13. Item 0106: National/ethnic group of
household head or agricultural holder
Type: additional and new item.
Reference period: census reference day.
Importance: In some countries there are differences in agricultural
practices between national/ethnic groups.
Where to collect this information? Only in holdings belonging to the
household sector.
13
14. Item 0107: Main purpose of production
of holding
Type: essential and frame item.
Reference period: census reference year or other suitable reference period (such as
the main harvest).
Importance: It is a broad indicator of the extent to which agricultural holdings
participate in the market economy. It is also important for developing a frame for
surveys on farm food stocks for sale.
Where to collect this information? Usually for holdings belonging to the
household sector but can be collected for holdings in non-household sector.
Suggested (main) categories: producing mainly for:
• Own consumption
• Sale
Note: Sale includes selling produce for cash or in exchange for other produce
(barter).
14
15. Item 0108: Other economic activities
of the household
Type: essential and frame item.
Reference period: census reference year.
Concept: It comprises economic activities undertaken by the household
linked to the premises of the agricultural holding or in the close vicinity,
other than agricultural production on the holding
Importance: It is important to help understand the relationship between
such activities and the agricultural production and to find out more about
life and economics in rural areas.
Where to collect this information? Only for holdings belonging to the
household sector.
15
16. Item 0108: Other economic activities
of the household (contd.)
Suggested activities to investigate are:
16
• Support activities to agriculture and post-harvest crop activities
• Hunting, trapping and related service activities
• Forestry and logging
• Fishing and aquaculture
• Manufacturing (agro-processing and handicrafts)
• Wholesale and retail trade, repair of motor vehicles or
motorcycles
• Hotels and restaurants (excluding Agrotourism)
• Agrotourism
• Other
17. Item 0109: Proportion of income from holding’s
agricultural production in household’s total income
Type: new and additional item
Reference period: census reference year.
Importance: It is important to get a broad indicator of the extent of which
agricultural holdings rely on their own production for the total household income.
Where to collect this information? Only for holdings belonging to the household
sector.
How is calculated the income: The total value of the available agricultural
production sold, used as means of production, processed or consumed by HH, put
into storage or used as own-account produced fixed capital
Suggested categories are:
• Less than a quarter
• A quarter or less than a half
• A half or less than three quarters
• Three quarters to less than all
• All income 17
18. Item 0110: Main agricultural activity on
the holding
Type: new and additional item
Reference period: census reference year
Importance: combined with other items it could be used for formulation of policies
for the sector
Where to collect this information? All holdings
Suggested categories are:
• Mainly crop production (at least two-thirds of the total value of the holding’s
production in the census reference year comes from crop production)
• Mainly livestock production (equal as before for livestock production)
• Mixed (crop and livestock) (neither crop nor livestock production account for at
least two-thirds of the total value of the holding’s production in the census
reference year)
18
19. Items: 0111 Presence of hired manager;
0112 & 0113 Sex and Age of hired manager
Type: new and additional items
Reference period: census reference day
Concept: the hired manager of the holding is the paid employee who
manages the agricultural holding on behalf of the holder and is responsible
for the normal daily financial and production routines of running the holding.
Importance: these items are important for analyzing the management of
agricultural holding and gender aspects of agricultural production as well as
the relationship between age and the characteristics of holdings. They could
also be used as basis for sampling frames for special surveys.

The statistical unit for a data collection is the basic unit for which data are collected. In previous agricultural census programmes, the statistical unit used has been the agricultural holding and this is used again in WCA 2020.
The definition of an agricultural holding remains the same as in previous programmes; that is:
“An agricultural holding is an economic unit of agricultural production under single management comprising all livestock kept and all land used wholly or partly for agricultural production purposes, without regard to title, legal form or size. Single management may be exercised by an individual or household, jointly by two or more individuals or households, by a clan or tribe, or by a juridical person such as a corporation, cooperative or government agency. The holding's land may consist of one or more parcels, located in one or more separate areas or in one or more territorial or administrative divisions, providing the parcels share the same production means, such as labour, farm buildings, machinery or draught animals.”
There are two types of agricultural holdings: (i) holdings in the household sector – that is, those operated by household members; and (ii) holdings in the non-household sector, such as corporations and government institutions. In most developing countries, the majority of agricultural production is in the household sector. The concept of “agricultural holding” is therefore closely related to the concept of “household”.
The household is one of the basic elements of a national statistics system and standards for defining a household have been laid down by the UN in its guidelines for population and housing censuses as follows:
"The concept of household is based on the arrangements made by persons, individually or in groups, for providing themselves with food or other essentials for living. A household may be either (a) a one‑person household, that is to say, a person who makes provision for his or her own food or other essentials for living without combining with any other person to form part of a multi-person household, or (b) a multi-person household, that is to say, a group of two or more persons living together who make common provision for food or other essentials for living. The persons in the group may pool their resources and may have a common budget; they may be related or unrelated persons, or constitute a combination of persons both related and unrelated” (UN, 2015b, paragraph 2.33).
Care must be taken in defining the statistical unit for the non-household sector. Corporations and government institutions may have complex structures, in which different activities are undertaken by different parts of the organization. The national accounting concept of establishment should be used (see Annex1), whereby an establishment is an economic unit engaged in one main productive activity, operating in a single location
See also para 6.12
In cases where a holding sells some produce and uses the rest for own consumption, main purpose should be which of the two – own consumption or sale – represents the larger value of agricultural production. Sale includes selling produce for cash or in exchange for other produce (barter). Disposal of agricultural produce in other ways – for example, for payment of labour, sending to family members, as gifts or as payment of taxes – should not be considered in assessing the main purpose of production. Several questions may be needed to obtain data for this item.
