International Conference on Agricultural Statistics IV
Advancing Statistical Integration and Analysis
22 - 24 October 2007, Beijing, China
The fourth International Conference on Agricultural Statistics (ICAS-IV) was hosted by the National Bureau of Statistics of China (NBS) and sponsored by FAO along with other international, regional, and national organizations.
Development of agricultural statistics
The Conference will focus on the fundamental issues related to the development of agricultural statistics within an integrated national statistical system. The theme of this Conference, Advancing Statistical Integration and Analysis, highlights many new directions and areas in agricultural statistics. The Conference promises a truly diverse and exciting programme consisting of plenary keynote speeches delivered by prominent speakers in this field, round table discussions and parallel sessions led by outstanding organizers from all over the world. These are supplemented by poster presentations and exhibitions.
Discussions and debate
Through discussion and debate, the Conference will provide a forum to facilitate a better understanding of the relationship between economic, social, political, and geographic issues related to rural development and the reduction of poverty; and ultimately to identify, maintain, and establish the core indicators needed for policy and decision making. To promote wide use of agricultural statistics, the Conference will, in particular, stress the importance of statistical harmonization and the need for comparability between countries.
Participation
The conference is open to the entire international agricultural statistical community, both producers and users of agricultural statistics such as statisticians, researchers, analysts and decision-makers from government agencies, academia, business and private sector, as well as the development community including international and regional organizations.
