Farm practices survey
The Farm Practices Survey provides information on how farm practices are affected by environmental issues and assesses the impact of agriculture on the environment. A consultation is run each year inviting internal and external colleagues to suggest topics to be included. This means that the content of the survey changes each year and ensures that the information collected is relevant and current. Where there is demand, topics are repeated at various intervals allowing time series data to be built up and enabling comparisons to be made across different years.
We are keen to find out who our data users are and whether you found the Farm Practices Survey data useful. We would welcome your feedback and comments on the publications featured on this page. If you would like to share your thoughts please email us at: farming-statistics@defra.gsi.gov.uk stating the publication title in the subject line of your email.
