Census of Agriculture
The Census of Agriculture, carried out by the IBGE, is the main and most comprehensive statistical and territorial investigation into the country's agricultural production. It aims at obtaining information about the structure, dynamics and level of production of Brazilian agricultural activity.
Its results make it possible to evaluate public policies such as, for example, land redistribution. They also allow studies regarding the expansion of agricultural frontiers, the production dynamism driven by technological innovations, and they enrich the production of environmental indicators. They also provide reviews of transformations arising from the process of restructuring and adjustments in the economy and their impact on the sector.
