  1. GLOBAL STRATEGY TO IMPROVE AGRICULTURAL AND RURAL STATISTICS TRAINING IN AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS Module 1: Overview of the generalframework of agricultural statistics

  2. Learning objectives of module 1 • Training participants must: • Have an overview of the conceptualframework of the global strategy to improve agricultural and rural statistics • Identify links between the economic, social and environmental aspects of thisconceptualframework • Understand the importance of Strategic Plans for Agricultural and Rural Statistics (SPARS) and theirintegrationinto National Strategies for the Development of Statistics (NSDS) • List the main users of agricultural statistics

  3. Plan of module 1 1.1.Scope of the course 1.2.Conceptualframework of the Global strategy to improve agricultural and rural statistics and itseconomic, social and environmental aspects 1.3.Strategic plans for agricultural and rural statistics (SPARS) and National strategies for the development of statistics (NSDS) 1.4.Users and uses of agricultural statistics

  4. Scope of the course 1.1 1.1.1 – The International Standard Industrial Classification of all economicactivities (ISIC Rev4.) 1.1.2 – The approach of the Global strategy to improve agricultural and rural statistics

  5. 1.1. Scope of the course (1/7) • The scope of agricultural statisticsisdefined by: • The System of National Accounts(SNA) whichdefines international standards as regards concepts,definitions and classifications of economicactivity. • The System of environmental-economicaccounting(SEEA), whichis a satellite account of the SNA. It is the startingpoint for environmentalstatistics. • Socioeconomic variables relating to agricultural holdings which come from the national accounts.

  6. 1.1. Scope of the course (2/7) • The International Standard Industrial Classification of all economicactivities (ISIC Rev.4)constitutes the scope of the census of agriculture; • In addition to the ISIC (Rev. 4),the Central Products Classification (CPC) provides an additional international standard. • The FAO uses the ISIC to determine the scope of the agricultural censusdescribed in the World Programme for the Census of Agriculture 2020.

  7. 1.1. Scope of the course (3/7) • For the full scope of agricultural statistics, twoadditionalapproachesshouldbeconsidered, namely the ISIC (Rev. 4) approach and the approach of the Global strategy to improve agricultural and rural statistics.

  8. 1.1. Scope of the course (4/7) Agricultural activitiesconsidered by the ISIC (Rev. 4) • Crop production: -Non-perennialcrops: Plants that do not last for more thantwogrowingseasons. Growing plants for seedproductionisincluded in this group. This group consists of seven(07) ISIC classes (classes 0111 to 0116 and 0119); -Perennialcrops: Plants with a growing cycle of more than one year. This group alsocoversseed production for these plants. It consists of nineclasses  (classes 0121 to 0129);

  9. 1.1. Scope of the course (5/7) Agricultural activitiesconsidered by the ISIC (Rev.4) • Animal production whichincludesraisinglivestock and the selection of all livestockexceptaquaticanimals. It consists of seven ISIC classes (classes 0141 to 0146 and 0149).

  10. 1.1. Scope of the course (5/7) Agricultural activitiesconsidered by the Global strategy to improve agricultural and rural statistics • Crop production; • Animal production; • Forestry and agroforestry: activitiesrelated to the production of forestproducts and to the interface betweenforestry and agriculture as an environmental impact domain

  11. 1.1. Scope of the course (6/7) Agricultural activitiesconsidered by the Global strategy to improve agricultural and rural statistics • Aquaculture and fisheries: important components of the foodsupply and foodsecurity, as well as householdincome • Geospatial aspects of land: land use for agriculture and forestry • Use of water: use for agricultural purposes for irrigation and other uses, sources of irrigation water, irrigated land, irrigation methods, and resulting production

  12. 1.1. Scope of the course (7/7) Agricultural activitiesconsidered by the Global strategy to improve agricultural and rural statistics • Environment: impact of all agricultural activities on the environment (land use intensity, energy, biodiversity, greenhousegases, etc.) • Non-agricultural rural activities: activitiespractised by agricultural householdsmaking up the majority of the population in a rural setting

  13. Conceptualframework of the Global strategy to improve agricultural and rural statistics 1.2

  14. 1.2.Conceptualframework of the Global strategy to improve agricultural and rural statistics (1/16) • A Global strategy to improve agricultural and rural statisticswasdeveloped and adopted in February2010 by the United Nations Statistics Commission (UNSC) • Itsaimis to provide a framework and a methodology to improve the availability and quality of national and international food and agricultural statistics, to guide policyanalysis and decisionmaking

  15. 1.2.Conceptualframework of the Global strategy to improve agricultural and rural statistics (2/16) • It isfounded on threepillars: • Creating a minimum set of core datathat countries willprovide to meettheircurrent and emergingneeds • Integrating agriculture in their National Statistical System (NSS) to guarantee data comparabilitybetween countries and over time • Guaranteeing the viability of the National Agricultural Statistics System (NASS) by strengtheninggovernance and statisticalcapacity building

  16. 1.2.Conceptualframework of the Global strategy to improve agricultural and rural statistics (3/16) Minimum set of core data • Theseindicatorscoverseveral aspects such as the agricultural sector (plant and animal production), rural development, climate change, the environment and the rural economy • Theyform a framework for implementing the agricultural and rural components of National Strategies for the Development of Statistics (NSDS)

  17. 1.2.Conceptualframework of the Global strategy to improve agricultural and rural statistics(4/16) Minimum set of core data • Determining the minimum set of core data beginswith: • the production statistics for the main crops, animal production, aquaculture, fisheries and forestry • and extends to • agricultural inputs • socioeconomic data • land cover • public expenditure

  18. 1.2.Conceptualframework of the Global strategy to improve agricultural and rural statistics (5/16) Integrating agriculture in the National Statistical System (NSS) • The process of improving agricultural statisticsbeginswithintegrating agriculture in the national statistical system • This integrationwillbeachieved by setting up a master samplespecific to agriculture to ensureitis relevant and comprehensive

  19. 1.2.Conceptualframework of the Global strategy to improve agricultural and rural statistics(6/16) Integrating agriculture in the National Statistical System (NSS) • Usingthis master samplewill help implement: • a coordinated data collection programmeaiming to produce data thatisappropriate and accurate as well as consistent and comparable; • a data disseminationstrategyensuring data accessibility.

  20. 1.2.Conceptualframework of the Global strategy to improve agricultural and rural statistics (7/16) Integrating agriculture in the National Statistical System (NSS) • The integration of agriculture in the national statistical system isnecessary for severalreasons: • It avoidsunnecessary duplication of work • It prevents the publication of contradictorystatistics • It ensures the best use of resources

  21. 1.2.Conceptualframework of the Global strategy to improve agricultural and rural statistics (8/16) Integrating agriculture in the National Statistical System (NSS) • This willbebased on methodologicalapproachesthatestablish a close linkbetween the resultsobtained by the variousstatisticalprocesses and the variousstatisticalunits

  22. 1.2.Conceptualframework of the Global strategy to improve agricultural and rural statistics (9/16) Guaranteeing the viability of the National Agricultural Statistics System (NASS) • Governanceat a national levelimplies the organization of a national statistical system whichincludessectorministries and otherorganizationsthatproduce data (the ministriesresponsible for agriculture,forestry, fisheries and anyother institution thatcollects agricultural data for agricultural statistics)

  23. 1.2.Conceptualframework of the Global strategy to improve agricultural and rural statistics (10/16) Guaranteeing the viability of the National Agricultural Statistics System (NASS) • Capacity building shouldtakeintoaccount the quality of agricultural statistics in terms of whetherthey are accurate, relevant, up-to-date, comparable, available and accessible; • New improvedindicators on trade, water, land, soil, householdconsumption, foodsecurity, managingnaturaldisasters, etc., are desirable;

  24. 1.2.Conceptualframework of the Global strategy to improve agricultural and rural statistics (11/16) Guaranteeing the viability of the National Agricultural Statistics System (NASS) • It isimportant to have the necessary data on new domainssuch as fishery (carried out by households), the environment/greenhousegas (GHG) emissions, energy and biofuels, biodiversity and climate change • Wealsoneed to have and use geospatial and remotesensing data, and to achievebetterintegration, accessibility and user-friendliness of databases

  25. 1.2.Conceptualframework of the Global strategy to improve agricultural and rural statistics (12/16) Guaranteeing the viability of the National Agricultural Statistics System (NASS) • Links between agriculture and environmental and social aspects are increasingly important. These links shouldbeconsidered in a global contextwhere agriculture coversthreeinter-dependent dimensions whichconstitute the threepillars or components underpinningsustainabledevelopment

  26. 1.2.Conceptualframework of the Global strategy to improve agricultural and rural statistics(13/16) Guaranteeing the viability of the National Agricultural Statistics System (NASS) • Thesethreepillars are: • The economic dimension of agriculture based on land, the work force and capitalintroducedinto the production process and the resultingproducts. This dimensioncovers agricultural production, markets and agricultural and non-agriculturalincome

  27. 1.2.Conceptualframework of the Global strategy to improve agricultural and rural statistics (14/16) Guaranteeing the viability of the National Agricultural Statistics System (NASS) • The social dimension of agriculture and rural developmentprimarilyconcerninghouseholds and members of households, both agricultural and non-agricultural. It covers the need to reducerisks and vulnerability, foodsecurity, gender issues, rural poverty, rural employment (particularly of women and children) and youthunemployment

  28. 1.2.Conceptualframework of the Global strategy to improve agricultural and rural statistics (15/16) Guaranteeing the viability of the National Agricultural Statistics System (NASS) • The environmental dimension of agriculture.It canbedividedbetweentworoles. • Agricultural activitywithitsrole as a user of naturalresources (mainly land and water) and as a provider of environmental services • How climate change relates to agriculture, sectorsustainabledevelopment and environmental services

  29. 1.2.Conceptualframework of the Global strategy to improve agricultural and rural statistics (16/16) Guaranteeing the viability of the National Agricultural Statistics System (NASS) • It shouldalsobenotedthat the geospatial aspect of land is an important part of the environmental dimension. It shouldthusbeconsidered in agricultural statistics, payingspecial attention to land use for agriculture and forestry

  30. 1.3.Strategic plans for agricultural and rural statistics (SPARS) and National strategies for the development of statistics (NSDS) 1.3

  31. 1.3.Strategic plans for agricultural and rural statistics (SPARS) and National strategies for the development of statistics (NSDS) (1/9) • The integration of agriculture in the National Statistical System (NSS) is the second pillar of the Global strategy to improve agricultural and rural statistics • This requires countries to develop and implement SPARS in the framework of NSDS • This iswhy NSDS shouldbereviewed and, if necessary, revised to reflectthisintegration and also to takeintoaccount the implementation of the master sample, the integratedsurveyframework and the data management system

  32. 1.3.Strategic plans for agricultural and rural statistics (SPARS) and National strategies for the development of statistics (NSDS) (2/10) • SPARS are recommended as guides in the sectorimplementation, paving the way for compilation and the consistent use of agricultural and rural statistics in developing countries • Theyshould: • help to resolvecoordinationproblemswithin the variouselements of the agricultural statistics system

  33. 1.3.Strategic plans for agricultural and rural statistics (SPARS) and National strategies for the development of statistics (NSDS) (3/10) • …..Theyshould: • serve as a statistical coordination frameworkbetween agricultural systems, subsystems and the NSO, and between the government and technical and financialpartners as regards funding agricultural and rural statisticalactivities • help to integrate new components such as thoserecommended by the Global strategy to improve agricultural and rural statistics

  34. 1.3.Strategic plans for agricultural and rural statistics (SPARS) and National strategies for the development of statistics (NSDS) (4/10) • To integrate agricultural statistics in the NSDS, weneed to ensurethat the NSDS processtakesintoaccount the aims and operating methods of a food and agricultural statistical system as a subsystem of the national statistical system

  35. 1.3.Strategic plans for agricultural and rural statistics (SPARS) and National strategies for the development of statistics (NSDS) (5/10) • To achievethis, itis important: • to assess all the constraints on the production of agricultural statistics and resourcesavailable for production and to propose actions aiming to overcometheseconstraints and provide the resourcesnecessary for the effective production of statistics to meet the needsexpressed

  36. 1.3.Strategic plans for agricultural and rural statistics (SPARS) and National strategies for the development of statistics (NSDS) (6/10) • …….To achievethis, itis important: • to ensurethat all users and their agricultural and rural statisticsneeds are assessed and takenintoconsideration and thatpriorities are defined in the development and implementation of data collection, analysis and dissemination programmes • to carry out effective production thatcontinuouslymeets the needs of all users

  37. 1.3.Strategic plans for agricultural and rural statistics (SPARS) and National strategies for the development of statistics (NSDS) (7/10) • The developmentprocess of a Strategic plan for agricultural and rural statisticsshould comprise a series of steps in four phases: • the launch phase • the assessment phase • the planning phase • the implementation phase Refer to the followingslides for a description of thesevarious phases:

  38. 1.3.Strategic plans for agricultural and rural statistics (SPARS) and National strategies for the development of statistics (NSDS) (8/10) • The developmentprocess of a Strategic plan for agricultural and rural statisticsshould comprise a series of steps in four phases: • the launch phase, whichwillproduce a road mapapproved by the national authorities • the assessment phase, whichwillconsist of an in-depthevaluation of the national agricultural statistical system

  39. 1.3.Strategic plans for agricultural and rural statistics (SPARS) and National strategies for the development of statistics (NSDS) (9/10) • …should comprise a series of steps in four phases: • the planning phase, whichwillresult in defining a mission, a vision,strategicpriorities and a costed action plan comprising a communication and advocacy plan, a funding plan and a monitoring and evaluationframework • the actualimplementation phase of the strategic plan
