In 2021 with 1,3988,000 metric tons, the UK ranks as the 13th largest producer of wheat in the world. [26] English farming is on the whole intensive and highly mechanised. [27] The UK produces only 60% of the food it consumes. The vast majority of imports and exports are with other Western European countries. [28]
The figures include land under conversion to organic status. The total organic land is approximately 3% of total farmed land. The largest component was 61.8% of UK organic land in permanent pasture (314,000 hectares). Only 3.1% of UK cattle were raised organically. Cereal growing represented 9.7% of organic land use (49,000 hectares).

The value of land being eroded by the sea or other natural processes declines rapidly. Land in the centre of large cities may be very valuable, for example £7.2 million per hectare was cited for central London in 2016, [1] compared with around £2500 per hectare for grouse moors in Scotland. [2]
In Irish and Northern Irish law, a fee farm grant is a hybrid type of land ownership typical in cities and towns. The word fee is derived from fief or fiefdom, meaning a feudal landholding, and a fee farm grant is similar to a fee simple in the sense that it gives the grantee the right to hold a freehold estate, the only difference being the payment of an annual rent ("farm" being an archaic ...
