In response to a growing demand for high-quality and internationally-comparable statistics, FAO develops, implements and promotes methods and standards to guide national data producers in generating and using sound statistics. In particular, the Organization is committed to provide national statistical systems with internationally recognized definitions, concepts and classifications as well as methodological guidance for the production of high quality statistics related to food and agriculture.

Abstract: The 1970 World Census of Agriculture was the third decennial census of agriculture promoted by FAO. The present publication, which is part of FAO Statistical Development Series, 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.
