Details

Defra (the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs), with its Arms’ Length Bodies (ALB’s), is committed to producing high quality, timely and relevant statistics in line with the Code of Practice for Statistics.

Our key objectives are to ensure that our statistics are of value to our users, informing debate and having an impact on decision making. The statistics we produce across our portfolio should anticipate user needs and be regarded as being of high quality and fostering trust and clear understanding. In order to achieve this we need to maintain a two-way dialogue with users and, wherever possible, take action based on the feedback we gather.
