        <![CDATA[The Census of Agriculture 2003 aims to provide detailed data on agricultural and livestock holdings in Cyprus in relation to land tenure, land use, fragmentation, cultivated areas, the number of trees and animals, agricultural machinery, employment and other data on holdings as well as the characteristics of holders. The information is considered useful for the evaluation of the changes in the structure of the sector and for the formulation and implementation of new policies for agriculture and the rural areas in general.  It is part of an EU-wide programme of agricultural censuses carried out in 2000 and conducted under the World Programme for the Census of Agriculture (https://www.fao.org/world-census-agriculture/en/).]]>
