Summary
The System of Environmental-Economic Accounting for Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (SEEA AFF), a subsystem of the SEEA Central Framework, is a statistical system for organizing data to enable the description and analysis of the relationship between the environment and the economic activities related to agriculture, forestry and fisheries. It applies and expands the SEEA CF concepts and methods related to agriculture, forestry and fisheries. Its accounting tables provide the statistical basis for the measurement and reporting of information on physical and monetary assets and flows relevant to production, trade, and the consumption of food and other agricultural, forestry and fisheries products and the use of natural resources. The SEEA AFF provides an integrated framework that supports the computation, monitoring and reporting of agri-environmental indicators, including those relevant to international processes, such as the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Convention on Climate Convention.
