Farm Business Survey, 2010-2011: Special Licence Access

<p>The <span style="font-style: italic;">Farm Business Survey</span> (FBS) is conducted annually to collect business information from about 2,100 farms in England and Wales. The survey provides information on the financial position and physical and economic performance of farm businesses, to inform policy decisions on matters affecting farm businesses and to enable analysis of the impacts of policy options. It is intended to serve the needs of farmers, farming and land management interest groups, government (both national and European), government partners, and researchers. </p><p>The primary objective of survey results is to contrast the performance or other business characteristics of different groupings of farm, such as between regions or other geographical or environmental designations, farm types, farm size, age or education of farmer, etc. Up to and including the 2001/02 survey, FBS estimates were based on matching the sample between two adjacent years and farm weights. Farm weights were still calculated to present a matched sample however. From the 2002/03 survey onwards, matching between adjacent years was dropped altogether, and weights are now calculated for the full sample. </p><p>The typology used to determine the FBS farm type classification has been revised from 2009 onwards. The FBS typology is now based on standard outputs expressed in euros, with a minimum threshold of 25,000 euro (irrespective of the SLR) for FBS eligibility. Between 2009 and 2011, FBS farm type classification was based on 2007 standard output (SO) coefficients. From 2012, the farm type classification was based on 2010 SO coefficients, and from 2017 the FBS farm type classification was based on 2013 SO coefficients. The coefficients have been revised again for 2023/24 and are based on 2017 coefficients. The change in typology has had an effect on the distribution of farms by farm type and income averages. Further information regarding the change in typology is available on the GOV.UK <a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/farm-business-survey-technical-notes-and-guidance#fbs-documents">FBS documents</a> web page.</p><p>

<p>《农场商业调查》（Farm Business Survey，FBS）按年度实施，旨在从英格兰与威尔士的约2100家农场中采集经营相关信息。该调查可提供农场经营体的财务状况、实物与经济绩效相关数据，为涉及农场经营的政策制定提供决策支撑，同时助力各类政策选项的影响分析工作。其服务对象涵盖农场主、农业与土地管理利益相关团体、（国家及欧盟层面的）政府机构、政府合作方及科研人员。</p><p>该调查结果的核心目标，是对比不同分组农场的经营绩效或其他商业特征，例如不同区域、其他地理或环境划定单元、农场类型、农场规模、农场主年龄或受教育程度等。在2001/02年度及此前的调查中，FBS的估算值基于相邻两年的样本匹配与农场权重计算，不过当时仍需通过权重计算以呈现匹配后的样本结构。自2002/03年度调查起，相邻年度样本匹配的方法被彻底弃用，当前权重仅基于完整样本进行计算。</p><p>用于确定FBS农场类型分类的类型学体系自2009年起完成修订。新版FBS类型学以欧元计价的标准产出（Standard Output，SO）为核心依据，FBS参与资格的最低门槛为25000欧元（不考虑SLR的相关要求）。2009年至2011年间，FBS农场类型分类基于2007年的SO系数；2012年起，分类标准改用2010年的SO系数；2017年起，则调整为基于2013年的SO系数。2023/24年度的系数再次完成修订，以2017年的系数为基准。类型学的修订对不同农场类型的分布及收入均值产生了影响。关于类型学修订的更多细节，可访问GOV.UK网站的<a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/farm-business-survey-technical-notes-and-guidance#fbs-documents">FBS文件</a>页面。</p><p>《农场商业调查》数据集可通过英国数据服务中心（UK Data Service，UKDS）获取，但需遵循特殊许可访问条款。如需了解申请数据访问权限的具体细节，请参阅"获取数据"板块。<br><br></p><p>2019年9月发布的第四版数据集，已存档修订后的数据库版本。</p>
