Synopsis (short abstract) In Resolution No. 14/75 on the 1980 World Census of Agriculture, the 18th Session of the FAO Conference held in November 1975, besides urging member nations to carry out their national census of agriculture, requested FAO to (a) take steps to encourage the widest possible participation of countries in the census of agriculture especially in the developing regions; (b) to provide technical assistance to countries to enable them to conduct the census and to process the census data. Earlier, the Seventh Session of the FAO Statistics Advisory Committee of Experts held in March 1975, after reviewing the Programme for the 1980 World Census of Agriculture, recommended the preparation and dissemination of guidelines for use by developing countries on the taking of a census of agriculture, In compliance with these recommendations the FAO Statistics Division has prepared these guidelines as supplement to the Progrannne for the 1980 World Census of·Agriculture, to promote and encourage the participation of all member countries in the World Census. It is hoped that countries taking their censuses within the framework of the FAO Programme for the 1980 World Census of Agriculture will find these guidelines useful. These guidelines contain information based mainly on the experiences of selected international and national agricultural census experts working and/or having worked in the developing countries.

    1980 World Census of Agriculture - Methodological review 1992
    Also available in:
    This publication is a review of methodological aspects of the national agricultural censuses conducted within the framework of the Pro­gramme for the 1980 World Census of Agricul­ture of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Although much effort was made to pool together all sources of information available in countries that participated in the 1980 World Census of Agriculture, this report is by no means exhaustive. Some census reports did not contain an adequate description of methodolog­ical subjects. This lack of information has been the limiting factor in the contents of the publi­cation. Nevertheless, the publication contains experiences of many countries in conducting their agricultural censuses during the period 1976-1985.
