Block 1: Agriculture Budget Dedicated to Family Farming as Percentage of Total Agricultural Budget

Block 1/3

Please read:

For this block, two datasets will be necessary:

1) Total Agricultural Budget

2) Agricultural Budget Dedicated to Family Farming

For both figures, please convert into U.S. dollars.

Total Agricultural Budget: This should be the annual budget that is allocated to all agricultural spending, including that allocated to rural development, agricultural expenditures, staffing of relevant agencies, etc. Use most up to date figure available, with reference.

Agricultural Budget Dedicated to Family Farming: This should be the amount of the total agricultural budget that is dedicated explicitly to family farming; these can be direct payments, subsidies, retirement schemes, etc. If a budgeted program is available for family farmers and non-family farmers, it will be necessary – if possible – to estimate what portion of the resources are destined for family farmers.
