Agricultural change and restructuring: Recent evidence from a survey of agricultural households in England

Article Abstract:

The results of a survey conducted of agricultural business restructuring within six English study areas selected to span a range of agricultural settings and designed to identify the different trajectories of change to be found there are presented. It shows that while there is some evidence of disengagement from mainstream agriculture and an increasingly diverse set of relationships between the occupation and management of land, commitment to remaining in agriculture remains strong amongst farming families.
