Summary

This AHDB evidence synthesis integrates current knowledge on sustainable intensification for UK agriculture, distilling evidence across multiple farming systems to identify practical strategies reconciling food production with environmental stewardship. Positioned as a knowledge synthesis rather than primary research, the work is designed to bridge the apparent tension between yield and sustainability in contemporary UK farming contexts and to inform policy and farmer decision-making. The 2026 publication date suggests a recent appraisal of emerging practices and evidence in this domain.

Regional applicability
