Agricultural Survey [ag/oth]
FAO has developed a monitoring system in 26 food crisis countries to better understand the impacts of various shocks on agricultural livelihoods, food security and local value chains. The Monitoring System consists of primary data collected from households on a periodic basis (more or less every four months, depending on seasonality). FAO conducted a Round 3 household survey using computer-assisted telephone interviews from 17 July to 8 August 2022 to monitor agricultural livelihoods and food security in Lebanon. The survey targeted the agricultural population. It took place across 7 governorates –Akkar, Baalbeck El Hermel, Bekaa, El Nabatieh, North Lebanon, Mount Lebanon and South Lebanon– with 150 households selected in each governorate using probability proportional to size. A total of 1 050 interviews were completed, in which 98 percent of respondents identified as agricultural households. For more information: https://data-in-emergencies.fao.org/pages/monitoring.

Sampling
The survey targeted the rural population in Lebanon using remote panel data collection. Respondents were drawn from the Agricultural Production Survey (APS), which sampled individuals listed in the 2010 Agricultural Census. This approach was also supported by the Lebanese Ministry of Agriculture, which has been conducting a similar household tracking survey for the past 10 years.
The survey used a one-stage sample design, drawing a Simple Random Sample with Probability Proportional to Size (PPS) from the agricultural population census. The sample was stratified by activity type and farm size using a genetic stratification algorithm (Ballin & Barcaroli1) to optimize homogeneity within strata and maximize sample efficiency.
The APS sample size is larger than required for the monitoring survey, as APS stratifies at a more detailed level. Additionally, due to APS's stratification method, large specialized farms were overrepresented, requiring weighting adjustments to properly represent smaller farms and non-agricultural households. After review by the OER Needs Assessment team and ESS, it was confirmed that the APS sample could serve as a valid sampling frame, with households selected proportional to their assigned weights.
The third round (July 2022) followed the same respondents as the first two rounds, creating an additional panel dimension. No quotas were set.
To correct for regional disproportionate sampling, base weights were computed at the adm1 (regional) level, aligning results with the actual population distribution in each region. Farm size was used as a wealth weight to correct for the overrepresentation of large specialized farms in the sample, ensuring that smaller farms and non-agricultural households—initially underrepresented—are properly reflected in the final analysis.
