 | Agricultural Land and Water Ownership Survey
In recent times there has been considerable interest in understanding the degree of foreign ownership in the agricultural industry. The ABS undertook the Agricultural Land and Water Ownership Survey (ALWOS) in March 2011. The ALWOS collected data on the level of foreign ownership of agricultural businesses, agricultural land and water entitlements used for agriculture in Australia. The results of the survey were released on 9 September 2011 and can be viewed in the ABS publication, Agricultural Land and Water Ownership (cat. no. 7127.0). |

 | Visual Display of Irrigated Production Data
Using Google Earth technology, estimates of Gross Value of Irrigated Agricultural Commodity Production have come to life in an animated 'fly-over'. Pillars represent the total gross value of the irrigated production - the blue portion representing the gross value of irrigated production and the white non-irrigated production. Brown pillars depict the gross value of production in areas of dry land agricultural production.
