The Census Programme was devised to foster the harmonization of national census practices for the national agricultural censuses undertaken in the decade 1996-2005. The harmonisation of national census practices is necessary in order to generate a database of internationally comp arable figures, such as the total number of farms by size, the number of livestock by type, land use by crops and agricultural inputs.85 p.application/pdfFAOBook (series)
