    Authors

    Area covered
    United Kingdom, England
    Description

    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.

    Farm type and farm size

    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.

    Farm businesses

    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.

    English geographical breakdowns

    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.
