  • Food Chain (beyond agriculture)
  • Prices and Expenditure
  • Global and UK Supply
  • Environment
  • Waste
  • Dietary Health

Sources

Data comes from previously published Government surveys run by the ONS and Defra and a wide range of other sources including Government agencies and commercial organisations. A document providing web links to the key data sources (PDF).

The publication carries the National Statistics logo but is a combination of National Statistics and other statistics. Those which are National Statistics are identified as being so.
