Farm structure surveys have been carried out in the EU since 1966. Their purpose is to examine trends in the agricultural sector, and it is therefore necessary to update regularly the statistics used to formulate, implement, monitor and evaluate the success and impact of the Common Agricultural Policy, rural development measures, and environmental policies. The aim of collecting statistics on farm structure is to provide updated and comparable data at Union level for the formulation of the Common Agricultural Policy and the design of effective measures on agri-environmental indicators. Exhaustive farm structure are carried out at 10-year intervals (2000, 2010 and 2020). In the intervening years, sample surveys on farm structure were conducted in 2003, 2005, 2007, 2013, and, most recently, in 2016.
