The FAO World Programme for the Census of Agriculture (WCA) provides support and guidance to countries to carry out national agricultural censuses. Data collected provides a snapshot of the state of a country’s agricultural sector – from the size of holdings, land tenure, land use, harvested areas, irrigation, livestock, labor, and other agricultural inputs. This information is vital in agricultural planning and policy-making, research and development, and monitoring of the agricultural impact on the environment.
