In Viamão (RS), IBGE is holding this Tuesday (12) the second day of the 2nd pilot test of the 12th Census of Agriculture, Forestry and Aquaculture. The operation is part of an essential testing phase to prepare the data collection that will be carried out on a national scale.
The teams met and took stock of the first day. According to the information provided, 12 regular enumeration areas participate in the test and two areas of Traditional Peoples and Communities. And today's goal is to visit the 14 enumeration areas.
The pilot test also brings a historical innovation by including, for the first time ever, the productive agri-food systems of traditional peoples and communities, ensuring a more complete portrait of the Brazilian productive diversity.
The superintendent of the IBGE in the State, Luis Eduardo Puchalski, highlighted the team's preparation. “We participated in training for two weeks, and we believe we can do a great pilot test. This is important because we will be testing new blocks of the questionnaire that will reflect the diverse territory we find here.”
Leandro Brunholi Ramos, Coordinator of Census Operations, highlighted today's goal. “To collect as many questionnaires as possible to verify the effectiveness of the pilot test.”
