The farming industry has changed dramatically over the past few years. Landowners are finding new ways of diversifying to improve returns and make farming profitable again.

At Farm Diversity magazine, we offer those in the industry informative articles and case studies of how farmers have used innovative methods to make more money from their land. We also feature the products and services they need to make farm diversification a success.

The industry employs a huge proportion of the population: DEFRA figures showed that in 2018, there were 296,000 farmers, business partners, directors and spouses working in the industry, with an additional 181,000 regular employees. In a nutshell, nearly half a million people are regularly employed on farms. It’s also important to consider that, with 4.6m hectares of arable crops and 167,000 hectares of horticultural crops in the UK, the potential for diversification is massive.
