Guidelines formulated by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) for the World Programme of Census of Agriculture in 2030 were endorsed on 6 March by the UN Statistical Commission at its 57th Session, elevating them to the status of an internationally agreed standard.
The World Programme of Census of Agriculture (WCA) is embarking on its eleventh decennial program and will provide the basis for implementation of agricultural censuses in FAO Member countries between 2026 and 2035, offering harmonized and internationally comparable data to support national policy makers and allow them to benchmark their performance against others.
