Agri-climate statistics report
The Agri-climate statistics report is an annual publication which presents the latest available statistics on the impact of UK farming on climate change. The report is split into four sections focused on agricultural emissions, emission intensity, farmer attitudes and emission reductions achieved by the adoption of mitigation measures.
