Concepts
  • AGRICULTURAL HOLDING:  Technical-economic unit that uses common production factors such as labour, machinery, facilities, land, among others, fulfilling the following four conditions: 1) yield agricultural products or maintain, in good agricultural and environmental conditions, the lands that are no longer used for productive purposes; 2) reach or exceed a certain size (in area or number of animals); 3) be subject to a single management; 4) be located in a well-defined and identifiable area.
  • PERMANENT GRASSLAND AND MEADOW TOTAL:  Sowed or spontaneous, usually herbaceous plants for livestock to eat at the site where they grow but that can also be cut at certain times of the year. They are not included in rotation and occupy the land for more than five years.
  • IRRIGATED AREA:  An agricultural area of a holding occupied by main temporary crops, permanent crops and permanent meadows and pastures that have been irrigated at least once in the agricultural year.
  • REFERENCE PERIOD:  The length of time for which data are collected, e.g. a specific day, month or year.
