Global Strategy to Improve Agricultural and Rural Statistics
Partnerships & Synergies
The Global Strategy to Improve Agricultural and Rural Statistics (GSARS) provides the institutional, methodological, and capacity-development foundations that enable countries to effectively participate in the 50×2030 Initiative to Close the Agricultural Data Gap.
Through targeted technical assistance, training, and methodological support, GSARS3 (2024–2027) strengthens the statistical infrastructure and human resources needed for reliable and sustainable agricultural data systems. These capacities are essential prerequisites for the successful implementation of large-scale, integrated agricultural surveys under 50×2030.
