Ordnance Survey (OS), the national mapping service and one of the largest holders of geospatial intelligence on land use in Great Britain, plays an integral role in supporting farmers, whether for farm management, environmental reporting or automated machinery. OS also has a role to play in encouraging innovation in the sector and supporting the roll-out of effective telecoms.

Pollution
Researchers have found more evidence that microplastics are impacting freshwater wildlife in different countries around the world.
In 2022/23 there were 42,000 large fly-tipping incidents in England alone. This cost hard-pressed local authorities £13.2 million (compared to £10.7 million the previous year) and created a threat to human health, wildlife habitats and the wider environment. Defined as being at least one tipper lorry load in size, large fly-tipping incidents also create a barrier to land development, improvement and restoration.
