This release provides estimates of coronavirus (COVID-19) related support schemes, grants and loans made to farms in England. Data are based on farms participating in the Farm Business Survey and are representative only of the survey population. The data covers the period March 2020 to February 2021, the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. The wording of this release was updated on the 17th January 2022 to clarify terminology relating to the Farm Business Survey population.

This publication gives estimates of crop areas and livestock populations for England from the June Census of Agriculture and Horticulture run by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs in June 2021.
The Agriculture and Horticulture survey in England is run on 1 June each year. Every ten years a full census is run however, the census planned for 2020 was postponed due to the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Instead, all commercial holdings in England with significant levels of farming activity were asked to complete a questionnaire in 2021 and the results are published in this statistics notice. Also included is information about census methodology, response rates and analysis (please see section 2).
You can find information about the users and uses of the June survey of agriculture and horticulture on the June survey notes and guidance page.
Next update: see the statistics release calendar.

The People and Nature Survey for England gathers information on people’s experiences and views about the natural environment, and its contributions to our health and wellbeing. An additional survey was undertaken to understand how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted on children’s experience with nature.
The publications report a set of weighted national interim indicators from the survey, which have been generated using data collected from a sample of approx. 1,500 children (8 - 15). A file for use in SPSS is available on request (see User Hub below).

The quarterly figures presented in this publication will not be updated, or added to. The regular publication of a quarterly statistics release ceased in 2016. Whilst the data continues to be collected quarterly, the statistics are now published on an annual basis and are available here.
These statistics are based on data submitted by local councils in England to https://www.wastedataflow.org/" class="govuk-link">WasteDataFlow on the waste they collect and manage.

Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.
The Farm Business Survey (FBS) is conducted annually to collect business information from c.2,400 farms in England and Wales. The FBS provides information on the financial position and physical and economic performance of farm businesses, to inform policy decisions on matters affecting farm businesses and to enable analysis of impacts of policy options. It is intended to serve the needs of farmers, farming and land management interest groups, government (both national and European), government partners, and researchers. The primary objective of survey results is to contrast the performance or other business characteristics of different groupings of farm, such as between regions or other geographical or environmental designations, farm types, farm size, age or education of farmer etc.
Up to and including the 2001/02 survey, FBS estimates were based on matching of the sample between two adjacent years. Farm weights were still calculated to present a matched sample however. From the 2002/03 survey onwards, matching between adjacent years was dropped altogether, and weights are now calculated for the full sample.
The 2019/20, to 2021/22 survey samples are slightly smaller as COVID-19 impacted data collection. In 2022/23, a new survey contract stipulated a sample of 1,500 farm records for England.
The typology used to determine the FBS farm type classification was revised for 2009 onwards. The FBS typology is now based on standard outputs expressed in euros, with a minimum threshold of 25,000 euro (irrespective of the SLR) for FBS eligibility. Between 2009 and 2011, FBS farm type classification has been based on 2007 standard output (SO) coefficients. From 2012 to 2016, FBS farm type classification was based on 2010 SO coefficients, and from 2017 the FBS farm type classifications are based on 2013 SO coefficients. The change in typology has had an effect on the distribution of farms by farm type and income averages. Further information regarding the change in typology is available from the 'FBS Documents' section on the gov.uk Farm Business Survey – technical notes and guidance webpage.
The Farm Business Survey is available under Special Licence access conditions. See the' Access data' section for further details on how to apply for access to the data.
