Upcoming Trade Shows New Forest District, UK for Agriculture

Agriculture takes on a multitude of forms across England and none fascinates more than the one in the New Forest District situated in Hampshire, England. What’s remarkable about this district is that it’s formed around the New Forest National Park, and its primary goal lies in preservation and conservation practices as the national park boasts a varied number of landscapes, old forest growths and diverse biomes. It’s why agriculture has had to move away from being invasive and transformative to the landscape. Farmers, who still operate here, do so by adopting specific farmer practices and apply for grants through the Farming in Protected Landscapes program. Still, the district follows major overarching trends with agriculture losing its economic potential and New Forest District has witnessed a subtle shift. Estimates now indicate over 1000 land-based businesses in the region, out of which only 470 are agricultural holdings. The changing landscape at a country level signals a solid transition from agriculture towards commercial, residential housing, and leisure activities. This transition finds synergy with the bustling tourism and visitor economy that thrives in the New Forest, employing over 9000 people across more than 700 businesses. The New Forest District is certainly adapting to these changes. Its vibrant economy reflects diversity with agriculture, ICT, finance & insurance, and real estate sectors making up the bulk of contributions. The Core Forest & Coastal area is where we clearly see the rise of finance & insurance, real estate and the service sector quickly catching up and surpassing agriculture in the area. Further urbanized regions like Totton & Waterside carve out niches in production, construction, and the broad public sector. While Rural New Forest naturally gravitates towards agriculture and real estate, it also showcases concentrations in information & communication and business services, reflecting a blend of traditional values and modern sensibilities.
