UK Agriculture - farming statistics

Food Import and Export
You could find out more statistic about in ukagriculture.
I think the statistic is similar to everywhere to the world as there are huge percentage of food importation.

Transporting Food
The quantity of food moved by truck has doubled since 1974 and the DEFRA reports that 25% of all miles covered by heavy goods traffic was to move food. There is an average 898 miles a year produce by transporting food.
In 2002, food transport produced 19 million tonnes of carbon dioxide, of which 10 Million tonnes were emitted in the UK and 9 million tonnes were generated by food imports.
