The largest single land use in Scotland is agriculture, (for cropland and grassland), at 5.35 million hectares (approximately 69% of the total land area). How this land is managed impacts the landscape, the food we produce, human activity and our ability to store carbon. Understanding the role of agriculture in shaping people, place and environment is key to combating both the climate and biodiversity crisis we are currently experiencing.
