' : Number unknown because not (yet) surveyed or not (yet) calculated '( )' : Not available because not sufficiently statistically reliableNotes Level 1: Degree of detail of the classification of the farms' utilised agricultural areas and animals (most aggregated level).The data for the years 1975, 1980, 1985 and 1990 differ from those in the print publications. The data currently published for these years have been adapted to the definition of an agricultural holding that has been valid since 1996.Agricultural holding: An agricultural business that - carries out crop production and/or livestock farming throughout the entire year; - includes one or more production plants; - is autonomous legally, economically, organisationally and financially and independent from other farms; - has its own operating result; - is farmed throughout the entire year An agricultural holding complies with the following minimum standards: - 1 ha utilised agricultural area (UAA) or - 30 ares of special crops or - 10 ares of protected crops or - 8 sows or - 80 fattening pigs or - 80 fattening pig places or - 300 poultry unitsStatistical unit: The statistical unit is the agricultural holding (see definition). The areas, livestock and employees published here are those from agricultural holdings. Therefore, it is possible that the figures may be lower than the Swiss totals, because these do not include units that are not considered to be agricultural holdings; this is particularly relevant for horse and bee populations.CantonThe canton in which the business is locally registered. A business can only be registered in one canton even if the areas are partly situated in another canton. It is therefore possible that a canton registers crops that are not situated in the canton territory such as vineyards, tobacco, etc.; it may also be possible that the UAA shown for a canton does not correspond to its actual effective area.Area of agricultural productionIn order to take greater account of the different agricultural production conditions in relation to the Confederation's support measures, Switzerland's agricultural area is divided into several zones. The most important delimitation criteria are climate, transport situation, topography of the land, altitude and exposure.Farmholding systemEin Landwirtschaftsbetrieb wird als Biobetrieb bezeichnet, wenn ein Teil oder die Gesamtheit seiner landwirtschaftlichen Nutzfläche biozertifiziert ist.Farmholding formBetrieb mit einem Arbeitsvolumen von mindestens 1500 Stunden/Jahr (gemäss ART-Normen) und auf dem der Betriebsleiter zu mindestens 50% der Erwerbstätigkeit angestellt ist.Observation unitFamily employeesThis category includes the farm manager, his/her immediate family, i.e. father, mother, brothers, sisters and children aged 15 and over who work on the farm.Farmholding formFull-time farmFarm with a work volume of at least 1500 hours/year (pursuant to ART norms) and on which the farm manager is employed with a work-time percentage of at least 50%.

To switch from one classification to the other, products are classified following their main material. Non-classifiable products are put in the category “Other products”.

Definitions:By definition, the FSO's road vehicle stock includes all civilian vehicles registered on 30 September belonging to owners who were resident in Switzerland on the day of reference. The commune of residence is defined by the postal code and postal locality in the owner's address. Analysis of these addresses has recently been improved, resulting in a backdated correction of fleet data from the years 2005 and 2006. Discrepancies in the stock by canton are roughly under 2% or in most cases less than one in a thousand.Canton The canton is defined by the owner's address and not by the registration plate.

Metainformation:Last modified: new data set 2018 State of the database: 16.07.2019 Survey reference period: January - May Spatial reference: Cantons / 01.01.1997 Source: Swiss Forestry statistics (FS)New definition: Forest enterprise Following a revision, the term “forest enterprise” has been redefined. Only units which have a sufficiently large forest area, rights of disposal to the area and consolidated accounting are considered to be forest enterprises. The minimum surface area for a forest enterprise is defined differently depending on the forest area in which it is located: - Jura 200 ha - Central Plain 150 ha - Prealps 250 ha - Alps/Southern Alps 500 haComments This cube continues the data from the 2004-2014 cube with a new statistical population. Both cubes have only limited comparability.Data regarding to forest surface can lightly differ to the surface from “Forest area in Switzerland, in ha” because of different methods for calculation.
