These datasets present annual land and crop areas, livestock populations and agricultural workforce estimates broken down by farm type, size and region. More detailed geographical breakdowns and maps are updated every 3 to 4 years when a larger sample supports the increased level of detail. Longer term comparisons are available via links in the Historical timeseries section at the bottom of this page.
The results are sourced from the annual June Survey of Agriculture and Horticulture. The survey captures data at the farm holding level (historically based on individual farm locations) so most data is presented on this basis. Multiple farm holdings can be owned by a single farm business, so the number of farm holdings has also been aggregated to farm businesses level as a way of estimating the number of overall farming enterprises for England only.
Key land use & crop areas, livestock populations and agricultural workforce on individual farm holdings in England broken down by farm type or farm size bands and for the UK broken down by farm size bands.
Number of farm businesses by farm business type and region in England. Individual farm holdings are aggregated to a business level. In most cases, a farm business is made up of a single farm holding, but some businesses are responsible for multiple farm holdings, often in different locations.
Key land use & crop areas, livestock populations and agricultural workforce on individual farm holdings in England broken down by various geographical boundaries.
The Local Authority dataset was re-published on 15th April 2025 to correct an error with the 2024 data.
Regular use by the public of an informal path, or land for lawful sports and pastimes, can result in those rights being formalised and recorded. You can protect your land against claims for public rights of way, or village green rights, by showing that, at the relevant time, you did not intend theserights to be acquired. This can be done by physical actions such as displaying notices, fencing the land or locking gates. One option for landowners to protect their land is set out in legislation. This enables the landowner (or their agent) to send to Devon County Council a statement and map, showing the extent of their land and what rights they admit exist over it. This will protect the land from claims for additional rights of way from the date of deposit for a period of up to twenty years, at which time it may be renewed by submitting a further declaration. Once lodged with the County Council, the map, statement and declaration become public documents and available for public inspection. All local authorities are required to keep a register of maps and statements deposited, and declarations lodged under Section 31(6) of the Highways Act 1980.
