Abstract

Research into the physical extent and rate of recent environmental change in the British countryside is at a more advanced stage than that concerned with causes and processes. This paper presents findings from a project designed to introduce a socio‐economic component into the Government's Countryside Surveys. Based on a questionnaire survey of occupiers with land in 169 1 km squares across Britain and a linked analysis of environmental and farm survey data, it examines the connection between farm business and land cover change in the squares. Different trajectories of farm business, and hence environmental, change are defined and related to lifecycle effects and influences associated with succession. A conclusion is that the processes of succession and inheritance are continuing to define critical transitions during which farm business, and hence environmental change, is most likely to be taking place.
