Methodological note

Definition of concepts

Herbaceous crops
Composed of plants whose above ground part is of herbaceous consistency. Also includes areas occupied by fallow and family orchards.
Fallow
Land that is not being used and has no crops for a certain period of time but has been treated in some way. It is included in the rainfed farming land group.
Cultivated land
Land that is worked (whether using hoes, ploughs, rakes, harvesters, spreaders or extirpators) over the agricultural year for whatever purpose and the date when it was done. Crops from tilled land can be herbaceous or woody.

The Agricultural Census CENSAG methodology page contains the new definitions of the concepts used in the 2020 Agricultural Census.

Methodological aspects

The Agricultural Census is a large-scale statistical operation carried out every ten years. Its objective is to collect, compile and disseminate information that allows us to understand the structure of the agricultural sector at a given point in time.

The aspects covered by the census include farm size, tenure status, irrigation methods, land use, livestock, labour, rural development and storage facilities.

In Catalonia, the 1962, 1982, 2009 and 2020 agricultural censuses were carried out by Spain's National Statistics Institute (INE), while the 1989 and 1999 censuses were carried out by Idescat, with support from the then Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries, Food and Environment (now the Ministry of Climate Action, Food and Rural Agenda).

Unavailable information is represented using the symbol ":". When the value is lower than that of the minimum unit to be able to estimate the statistical operation or if it effects statistical confidentiality, the symbol used is "..".
