Agricultural transition in Scotland - first steps towards our national policy: consultation analysis
Analysis of the responses received to the Agricultural Transition in Scotland consultation. The consultation was carried out between August 2021 and November 2021.
Appendix C: Sectoral classification
Given the range of sectors represented by respondents, analysts created a broad level of classification for analysis purposes. Respondents were assigned to one of the categories below based on the nature of their organisation.
| Sector | Number of responses | % of all responses |
|---|---|---|
| Individual | 224 | 71 |
| Organisations | 90 | 29 |
| Agriculture or food | 36 | 11 |
| Animal health or welfare | 4 | 1 |
| Environmental | 16 | 5 |
| Farm Businesses | 16 | 5 |
| Other land use | 6 | 2 |
| Other / miscellaneous | 12 | 4 |
Of the 224 responses from individuals, 11 left an organisation name which meant they could be identified as a farm business. While this means 27 responses were received from farm businesses (9%), it is not possible to establish how many other individuals represented farm businesses.
