Halfway through the 2020 round of the World Programme for the Census of Agriculture covering the period of 2016–2025, FAO is providing further practical input for the countries of Europe and Central Asia to join this cycle.

The five-day FAO webinar presents Volume 2 of the World Programme of the Census of Agriculture (WCA 2020) - “Operational Guidelines” dealing with the practical steps involved in actually conducting an agricultural census in the field: from design and planning, and fieldwork operations, to processing, analysis, and dissemination of census results. The virtual event allows FAO Members in Europe and Central Asia to deepen their understanding about the main stages of preparing and implementing an agricultural census.

The webinar will feature a roundtable to provide country updates on census plans, approaches, and methodologies, as well as highlight national experiences and issues based on the last or ongoing census and the agricultural census’ technicalities.
