Details

The Food Statistics Pocketbook presents a selection of information covering the economic, social and environmental aspects of the food we eat. It contains statistics for different time periods, but always using latest available data at the time of release. Data comes from surveys run by Defra and the Office for National Statistics and from a wide range of other sources including government departments, agencies and commercial organisations.

The full publication is available here: Food statistics pocketbook

Associated datasets from this publication are also available.

Data are a mixture of National Statistics, Official Statistics and unofficial statistics. Unofficial statistics are used where there are gaps in the evidence base.

Where National Statistics (Official Statistics that comply with the national statistics code of practice) are used this is indicated. Further information on National Statistics can be found on the UK Statistics Authority website.

The sections on Environment and Waste from the previous version published in April 2017 are no longer being reproduced.

Environmental information was previously sourced from these locations: UK Environmental accounts,ONSBritish Survey of Fertiliser Practice, Defra and Energy consumption in the UK,BEIS

Waste information was previously sourced from WRAP. & Digest of waste and resource statistics(Defra)

The sections on Dietary Health and Safety & Confidence are under review and so are not included in this update.

We have combined the summary, the three separate "chapter" pages and the glossary into one webpage to simplify navigation.

Please answer 4 short questions (opens in Google Forms) to help us make the pocketbook better for you.
