DEFRA has updated it’s UK Evidence Pack containing infographics on 12 main areas of agriculture – from the structure of the industry through to the environment and provides a considerable amount of food for thought on the current state of agricultural production and its effect on the environment.
“The evidence and narrative presented is based on the latest available data at the time that Agriculture in the UK was published. Most of the data is for the 2020 calendar year but in some cases data are for earlier years where more recent data is unavailable.”*
