The FAO conducts reviews and assessments of national census practices, methodologies, and results, summarizing the findings in methodological publications like the Statistical Development Series (SDS). The SDS 18 provides a methodological review of the national censuses and global comparable data on key variables characterizing the structure of agriculture, including number and area of holdings, land tenure, holder gender, land size classes, average holding sizes, legal status, household sizes, source of farm labor, land use, and operated land.

The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) conducts comprehensive reviews and assessments of national census practices, methodologies, and results following each census round. These assessments are published in the Statistical Development Series (SDS), which provides valuable insights into the state of agriculture around the world.
For the World Census of Agriculture (WCA) 2010 round (2006-2015), the FAO has produced two separate publications. The first one, titled "Main results and metadata by country (SDS 17)," was published in 2019 and presented a comprehensive compendium of census metadata and main results for a record number of 127 countries and territories. This publication provided a valuable resource for policymakers, researchers, and stakeholders to understand the agricultural landscape at a global scale.
The second publication, titled "The global review of census results," is the focus of this discussion. This publication is divided into two parts. The first part (Chapters 1 to 12) provides a methodological review of the national censuses conducted during the WCA 2010 round. It explores the various approaches used, the data collection methods employed, and the challenges encountered during the census process. The second part (Chapter 13) presents global comparable data on key variables characterizing the structure of agriculture.
These key structural variables include the number and area of holdings, land tenure and holder gender, land size classes, average holding sizes, legal status of holders, household sizes, source of farm labor, land use, and operated land. The global review of census results offers a unique perspective on the agricultural landscape, as it provides data that are not available elsewhere. It allows for comparisons between countries, regions, and sub-regions, and helps identify trends and patterns in agricultural development.
The FAO's assessments of national census practices, methodologies, and results play a crucial role in informing agricultural policies, programs, and interventions. They provide valuable insights into the state of agriculture, the distribution of land and resources, and the challenges faced by farmers and rural communities. By conducting regular reviews and assessments, the FAO contributes to the improvement of census methodologies, the collection of more accurate and reliable data, and the development of evidence-based policies that support sustainable agricultural growth and development.
In conclusion, the FAO's reviews and assessments of national census practices, methodologies, and results are an important contribution to our understanding of the agricultural landscape. They provide valuable data and insights that help policymakers, researchers, and stakeholders make informed decisions and develop effective strategies for sustainable agricultural growth and development.
