    Report on the 1970 World Census of Agriculture 1977
    Also available in:
    The 1970 World Census of Agriculture was the third decennial census of agri­culture promoted by FAO. The numerical results of this Census, made available to FAQ generally through national census publications in diverse forms and in many different languages, are processed in a comparable form and published in a series of issues of the Census Bulletin already distributed to Member Governments. The present publication deals with the concepts, definitions and methodology of census taking as applied by countries participating in the 1970 World Census of Agriculture. The information presented is drawn from the available national census reports, documents of various FAQ meetings and sessions, and from the FAO experts who were actually involved in the planning and implementation of the census of agriculture taken around 1970 in the developing countries. While every effort was made to pool together all possible sources of information, it is by no means claimed to be exhaustive. Most of the census reports available from the countries were lacking in adequate information on the planning and methodological procedures. On a number of items the information presented in some of the national reports was too scanty for a comparative analysis to be included in the present volume. Naturally these limitations reflect correspondingly on the contents of this publication.

    Taking Agricultural Censuses 1978

    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.
