Agriculture & Rural Development Land (policy, resource management) Livestock Italy National coverage Households The statistical unit is the agricultural holding, defined as a single unit, both technically and economically, which has a single management and which undertakes the agricultural activities listed in Annex I to the European Parliament and Council Regulation (EC) No. 1166/2008 within the economic territory of the EU, as either its primary or secondary activity.

Census/enumeration data [cen] The census scope covered agricultural activities (crop and animal production). Face-to-face [f2f] Data collection has been carried out through two alternative techniques: (i) traditional, face-to-face interviewing (PAPI) method; or (ii) the new, self-interviewing (CAWI) method. The non-sampling errors has been identified and treated by an Editing and Imputation System (E&IS), preserving as much as possible the collected information. The E&I activities could be grouped in three main stages. The first stage refers to the checks performed at the data gathering phase. The second stage concerns the activities carried out in order to provide the provisional figures. The last stage relates to the procedures aiming to release the final data. Preliminary results were disseminated in July 2011 through a press release and 23 tables were made available to users on the Istat website. The final results were released in July 2012. The main dissemination method was the Internet.
