"The Wye City Group has been formed as a successor to the IWG.AGRI Task Force on Statistics on Rural Development and Agricultural Household Income, which had its final meeting in June 2006 following the publication of the handbook Rural Households' Livelihood and Well-being: Statistics on Rural Development and Agriculture Household Income (www.unece.org/stats/rural)."

"The second meeting of the Group will consist of four half-day sessions with a focus on issues related to the revision of the handbook Rural Households' Livelihood and Well-being: Statistics on Rural Development and Agriculture Household Income. In particular, sessions will cover emerging issues in a changing rural world and related data needs; and the use of new technological tools in rural statistics with a concern on specific characteristics at different levels of development. Each session will include a Session Organiser and Chair, an invited keynote speaker and a number of discussion papers."
