Synopsis (short abstract) The scarcity of high-quality and timely agricultural data at national level hampers the effort of governments and organizations to develop robust policies that are based onempirical evidence. Furthermore, the dearth of such information prevents the measurement of progress against the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) indicators and other national, regional and international development indicators. This short flyer provides a snaphot on FAO's work in supporting countries in their efforts to improve and strengthen their nationalstatistical systems and to enable access to agricultural statistics.

    The World Programme for the Census of Agriculture 2010 (WCA 2010) is intended to assist countries in the conduct of their national census of agriculture. It provides guidance on the integrated system approach to agricultural censuses and surveys and recommends, for the first time, a modular approach to the census of agriculture with the core census module being conducted on a complete enumeration basis and the supplementary modules being conducted on a sample basis. The publicati on provides a detailed list of items suitable for inclusion in the national agricultural census programme as well as definitions, concepts and standards to be adopted. For the first time, it is recommended to collect additional data at the community level to examine the infrastructure and services available to holdings at this level. It discusses the need for coordination between the census of agriculture and the census of population and housing and presents guidelines on conduct ing the agricultural census and the aquacultural census as a single field operation, where this is considered advantageous. It also discusses widening the coverage of the census of agriculture to include households that are non-agricultural producers to provide a more complete socio-economic picture, particularly of rural communities.
