Corresponding area (hectares)

The agricultural censuses, ten-year surveys, offer an instant, complete and detailed picture of a key sector of the French and European economy:
agriculture (agricultural population, plant areas, including vineyards, livestock numbers, means of production, ancillary activities, etc.). It answers questions as diverse as it is varied, at all geographical levels, allowing comparisons at the finest level (canton, common) and takes into account the local specificities as well as the new challenges of agriculture, such as signs of quality, territorial farm contracts, cultivation practices, etc. It is also interested in smaller farms and the important local impact.

To prepare for the future of the agricultural world:
The agricultural census makes it possible to measure the impact of agricultural policies, in particular the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), on agricultural practices and the environment.
It gives political leaders, national elected officials and representatives of the profession keys to preparing future agricultural laws and regulations and international negotiations.
It provides elected representatives of rural communes with valuable data for spatial management and spatial planning.

The 2010 agricultural census follows the 1970, 1979, 1988 and 2000 censuses.
The 2020 agricultural census will soon begin.

The main data relate to:

Crops and areas cultivated,

Breeding and livestock,

Methods of crop protection,

Farm equipment,

Diversification of activities (green tourism...),

The marketing of products (AOC, direct sales to consumers, etc.),

Employment (employee, family employment, etc.) and the level of training of the farmer,

Management of the farm.

There is no question about the financial results or the income of farmers.

Who was identified?

Investigators identified all production units meeting 3 criteria

producing agricultural products;

have an independent day-to-day management;

attain or exceed a certain threshold in area, production or number of animals.

This threshold has been defined as follows:

a utilised agricultural area (UAA) of 1 hectare or more;

or a specialised crop area greater than or equal to 20 ares;

or sufficient agricultural production activity, estimated in terms of number of animals, production area or minimum production volume.
