Structural Surveys As a Source of Statistical Information for Calculation of Macro-Economic Agricultural Indicators (Eurostat)

Survey design and implementation is a chain of actions and interactions with three players involved: users, respondents and, in between, surveying statisticians. A successful survey is characterised by both a maximum compliance with the needs of the users, and a minimum burden on the respondent. It is the task and the challenge of the statisticians to simultaneously satisfy these two, often conflicting, interests, and to produce statistical data that are comparable and consistent with those of other surveys. Data collection has to be organised in such a way that response burden is spread equally over respondents, questionnaires for different surveys are standardised or even integrated, and redundancy of questions is banned. EDI is an important tool to achieve these goals. During data processing, data from different survey sources are matched so as to obtain consistency, which processing methods (editing, imputations, estimations) are designed as uniform as possible…

Multiple Use of Farm Register -Finland

Finland’s Farm Register contains information of all potential farms, which could produce

agricultural products. The Farm Register serves both statistical and administrative purposes.

Multiple use of Farm Register wouldn’t be possible without legislation, which permits the use, cooperation with statistics and administration and high ADP-competence. With multiple use of the register is possible to reduce the response burden of farmers, rationalise data collection, save in operating costs and ensure good quality of statistics.

Introduction to the Agricultural Information System of Eurostat

David Verhoog

Eurostat, Unit F1, Luxembourg

Eurostat has been involved in agricultural sector modelling for more than 20 years. For most of this period, however, it was the University of Bonn who developed and maintained the resulting models, under contract to Eurostat. The model as a whole was called the SPEL/EU-system and consisted of three parts: a base model, a shortterm forecast model and a medium-term forecast model. With most of the data in the base model coming directly from Eurostat, it was Eurostat’s eventual aim that it should be able to maintain this base model itself. To this end, development of the agricultural information system (AgrIS) was started in 1999. The AgrIS continues to use the concepts of the SPEL-system. The decision was taken, however, to rewrite the whole system with new software. Eurostat has chosen to develop AgrIS with the

Microsoft development tools (Excel in combination with Access). Excel is used as a calculation engine and a navigation tool. Users can continue to operate the existing Excel functions, but have additional pre-programmed AgrIS-tools. All the data are stored in Access.

Invited paper submitted by Eurostat Prepared by Mr. J. Delincé (DG VI) and Mr. R. Muthmann (Eurostat).

The European System of Agricultural Statistics (ESAS) and its main actors are described. How can this system be "maintained" with its high degree of "subsidiarity" and its mixture of Community surveys and harmonised national data, only partially under legal cover ? How can future data needs be defined ? How can basic problems like missing data and the use of administrative information be tackled in an environment of 15 Member States having to integrate the agricultural statistics of 11 Candidate Countries ?

The MARS Project

The MARS project is providing technical support and expertise to the Directorate General Agriculture for the implementation, the management and the follow-up of EU Policies. The MARS project started 10 years ago and has been driven by the users' requirement and was permanently oriented as a consequence. The expertise developed within MARS incorporates the operational use of remote sensing (satellite and airborne data), GIS, GPS, and more generally Geomatics techniques and area Frame sampling.

These methods are applied:

  • For the fight against fraud, i.e. in support to the management of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP); Creation of land parcel identification systems; Controls with remote sensing; Implementation of the Olive tree and Vineyard GIS; Management of the Agri-environmental measures.
  • For the production of pan-European statistics and information systems; Crop yield monitoring forecasts and MARS bulletin. Ad hoc specific surveys (Oli-stst, Oliarea).

The MARS Bulletin

The ARIS unit has been supplying electronic copies of the MARS (Monitoring Agriculture by Remote Sensing Techniques) Project Bulletin on an experimental basis. The Bulletin is published about 6 times a year and provides an on-going appraisal of how the agricultural season is progressing over Europe, Turkey and the Maghreb. The document includes crop yield forcasts and agromet data.

Computer-assisted recognition of Olive trees in digital imagery

Giovanna Giardino, RSDE SrL, Milan, Italy

Commission VII, Working group 4

In response to a direct requirement of the European Commission (EC) and Member States (MS), who need to manage some 500 million olive trees in Mediterranean countries, the Agricultural Information Systems Unit (of the Space Applications Institute, JRC) has developed an algorithm and software application for the computer-assisted recognition and counting of trees, designed to be used on the main type of image data available (scanned panchromatic aerial photography, 8-bit, 1m pixel).

http://mars.aris.sai.jre.it/documents/wine-olive/olicount/bp98-paper/isprs.html

 

THE OLICOUNT PROJECT

In order to assist the planned register creation in Portugal and Greece in the near future, a demand was identified by the Commission to develop a tree counting tool, to assist Member State administrations in the task of implementing or maintaining their olive tree registers and checking of farmers’ aid applications.

http://mars.aris.sai.jrc.it/wine-olive/olicount2000/

 

THE OLISTAT PROJECT

In mid-1997, the European Commission launched a project for the "Estimate of the number of olive-trees by Member State" (EC 1997). The main goal of this project - dubbed Olistat - was the production, for the five Member States concerned, of national-level estimates for the number of olive trees, on the basis of a statistical sample. The data source for this operation was aerial photography with characteristics as described above (§1.3). Semi-automatic counting methods were applied in four (out of five) sub-projects, but were not imposed as part of technical specification. Indeed, for small numbers of trees in very mixed environments (a randomly located sample plot may fall in very mixed zones) manual counting by well-trained interpreters can be a fast and efficient method. However, GIS management of the entire database was stipulated, and per-tree identification required as a part of quality assurance procedures.

The CORINE programme

If our environment and natural heritage are to be properly managed, decision-makers need to be provided with both an overview of existing knowledge, and information which is as complete and up-to-date as possible on changes in certain features of the biosphere.

To this end, the three aims of the CORINE (Coordination of information on the environment) programme of the Commission European are:

  • to compile information on the state of the environment with regard to certain topics which have priority for all the Member States of the Community;
  • to coordinate the compilation of data and the organization of information within the Member States or at international level;
  • to ensure that information is consistent and that data are compatible
