What do we mean by integration?

Cost-effective: Saves resources - financial and
physical
Avoids duplication in data collection efforts and
inconsistent data
Increases scope of analysis of data: multidimensional analysis (cross-sectoral)
Possibilities of “One-stop-shop for data users”
Greater use of data for policy making
Integration?

Does not mean all data be collected in the
same survey.
It means: All efforts of data collection are well
coordinated and are based on compatible
and consistent concepts and statistical
infrastructure in a manner that it minimizes
the user need of ad hoc data collection and
makes it possible to pool data from various
sources
Integration: How?




5
Sharing of cartographic material
Integrated planning of all agricultural
surveys: Survey calendar
Integrated sampling design for surveys
Different agencies could implement surveys
of their choice with a common framework of
survey plan.
Issues to consider



6
National Plan for data collection: Who will
collect what data and when?
Adoption of concepts, definition and
classifications which are consistent with in
the country and internationally
cross-sectoral linkages and pooling e.g
pooling of data from enterprise survey and
household based surveys to get complete
information on agricultural holdings.
Cocepts: Agriculture holding


“An agricultural holding is an economic unit of agricultural
production under single management comprising all livestock
kept and all land used wholly or partly for agricultural
production purposes, without regard to title, legal form, or size.
Single management may be exercised by an individual or
household, jointly by two or more individuals or
households, by a clan or tribe, or by a juridical person
such as a corporation, cooperative or government agency.
The holding's land may consist of one or more parcels,
located in one or more separate areas or in one or more
territorial or administrative divisions, providing the parcels
share the same production means, such as labour, farm
buildings, machinery or draught animals.”
Concepts:Aqucaculture Holding

Agriculture: Land and Livestock
Aquaculture:

Plants and animals
inland, marine
Important to keep a conceptual seperation
between “agricultural holdings engaged in
aquaculture” and purely “aquaculture
holdings”
Concepts:Household

Household: concept well defined in
population census
–

–

dwelling unit, kitchen, living usually under same
roof
Household may mange a holding or one or more
households mange a holding
one household may have more than one holding
and one holding may be managed by several
households.
Integration with in agriculture:
Approach for WCA 2010

Agricultural census/survey programme consists of:
Census of Agriculture: provides basic structural data and
sampling frames. Census to be done in modules:
–
–


10
core census module (complete enumeration):16 data items
census supplementary module(s) (sample enumeration):12 themes
with 87 data items
Thematic agricultural surveys: cover various ongoing and
in-depth surveys to be undertaken after the agricultural
census, using the agricultural census as a frame.
Community level data: 32 data items

WCA 2010: A flexible approach



12
The modular approach provides a high
degree of flexibility “mix-and match”
For some countries the traditional single
questionnaire, single round census will still
be the preferred option
For other countries a full agricultural
census/survey programme will need to be
developed

WCA 2010: Livestock Data Items
Theme 04 – Livestock (Reference group: holdings with livestock)
For the holding

0401 Type of livestock production system (see paragraphs 11.153–11.155).

0402+ Use of veterinary services (see paragraphs 11.156–11.157).
For each livestock type

0411 Number of animals: age, sex and breed (see paragraphs 11.158–11.160).

0412 Number of animals according to purpose (see paragraphs 11.161–11.162).

0413+ Number of milking animals according to milk status (see paragraph 11.163).

0414+ Number of animals born (see paragraph 11.166).

0415+ Number of animals acquired (see paragraph 11.167).

0416+ Number of animals slaughtered (see paragraph 11.168).

0417+ Number of animals disposed of (see paragraph 11.169).

0418+ Number of animals died from natural causes (see paragraph 11.170).

Community Level Data

Data for communities as a whole: not the
holdings
Interfacing data from various sources for
enhanced scope of analysis

Data with community as a statistical unit
Aggregate data from other surveys.
Decentralized planning
Spatial representation (GIS) for greater use
