Agricultural Integrated Survey (AGRIS): Rationale and MethodologyFAO
The document summarizes the Agricultural Integrated Survey (AGRIS) which is a proposed 10-year integrated farm-level survey that would generate representative estimates at the national, provincial and district levels. It aims to address gaps in agricultural and rural statistical data collection, while being affordable and sustainable for countries to implement. The methodology involves core annual modules on crop and livestock production integrated with socioeconomic data, and rotating thematic modules collected every 2-5 years on topics like the economy, labor, assets and the environment. An AGRIS toolkit provides resources for survey design, questionnaires, sampling, data collection, processing, analysis, dissemination and archiving.
This document discusses different modalities for conducting an agricultural census, including the classical, modular, integrated census/survey, and use of registers approaches. It provides an overview of each modality, including descriptions of implementation steps, advantages, and limitations. Specifically, it describes the classical approach as a single one-off operation collecting all census items, the modular approach as having a core module conducted via complete enumeration and supplementary modules via sampling, and the integrated approach as combining censuses and surveys over multiple years. Country examples are also mentioned.

This document discusses the history of racism in the United States. It describes how racism originated with slavery, as black slaves were brought from Africa to work on farms and in factories. After the Civil War ended slavery, racism continued through segregation and discrimination against black citizens. The civil rights movement of the 1960s fought against racism and discrimination. However, racism has not been fully eliminated, as black Americans still face higher rates of poverty, unemployment, incarceration, and lower levels of education compared to white Americans. Eliminating the economic and social inequalities between races is needed to fully end racism in the U.S.

This document provides an analysis of Angela Carter's short story "The Company of Wolves" from her 1979 collection The Bloody Chamber. The story uses magical realism and postmodern styles to explore themes of feminism during the Victorian era in England. It examines the unequal relationship between men and women through symbols like wolves representing men and their oppression of women. The story is set in a dark forest and village to depict the harsh social conditions facing women at the time. Through its use of symbols, figures of speech, and depiction of the cultural and political climate, the story critiques gender relations and asserts women's rights in line with feminist theory during this historical period in Britain.

This document provides information about the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission, with a focus on the Institute for Prospective Technological Studies (IPTS) and its work analyzing policy impacts on the agricultural sector in Africa. The IPTS uses economic modeling tools like FSSIM-DEV to evaluate the effects of policies and innovations on farm households, poverty levels, and other indicators. An example application analyzed the impacts of a rice seed policy in Sierra Leone. The modeling found the policy improved farmer viability but not enough to significantly reduce poverty. Ongoing work includes expanding the analyses to more African countries and further developing the modeling methodology.
