Figures refresh every night. [How each figure is worked out](/methodology/).





**£25.8bn** was spent on environment protection and agriculture in the UK in 2025-26, **£371** per resident. That is +7.0% on a year earlier after inflation (+10.7% in cash). In 2025-26 prices it has gone from £23.7bn in 2006-07 to £25.8bn. Flood and coastal defence in England took £1.4bn of central government money in 2024-25.

## What is the short version?



- **Farm support is moving from land to actions:** in 2025 agri-environment schemes paid £1.8bn and the Basic and delinked payments £1.0bn across the UK.
- **Payments are concentrated:** the top 10% of CAP recipients in England received 54% of the money in 2024.
- **Recycling has stalled:** England recycled 42.0% of household waste in 2024-25, about the same as ten years earlier.






## Over the longest run published: cash, real terms and per head




**United Kingdom: spending in cash and in 2025-26 prices, £ billion**








Real terms use HM Treasury’s GDP deflator, 2025-26 prices. Breaks in the series: 2021-22: The UK left the Common Agricultural Policy: from 2021 every direct payment was funded by the UK, and England began cutting Basic Payment Scheme payments, replaced by delinked payments from 2024 while new schemes (the Sustainable Farming Incentive) grew. 2021-22: The flood statistics stopped counting MHCLG’s grant to lead local flood authorities. 2020-21: Farm payments formerly financed by the EU came into Defra’s own budget, roughly doubling it.

## Farm subsidies over fifty years



Subsidies to UK farming were £3.4bn in 2025, 40% of Total Income from Farming
(£8.4bn). In 2025 prices they have gone from £1.4bn in 1973 to
£3.4bn. Since 2021 direct payments have been funded by the UK rather than the EU budget.




**Subsidies to UK farming and Total Income from Farming, 2025 prices, £ million**








Defra’s UK agricultural account, calendar years, adjusted by Defra with the ONS GDP deflator (YBGB) to 2025 prices. Subsidies here are those in the accounts; they leave out capital grants and payments that do not go to farmers.

## Farm support now: by kind, scheme and nation



In 2025 £4.9bn was paid to support UK agriculture, £3.0bn of it identifiably in England.
Payments for land area, the Basic Payment Scheme and its delinked successor in England, are falling; agri-environment schemes,
which pay for actions such as hedgerow management and cover crops, are growing. Each nation runs its own schemes.

**UK agricultural support payments by kind, £ million, cash**








Payments reported to the OECD, calendar years. Agri-environment includes the Sustainable Farming Incentive, Countryside Stewardship and Environmental Stewardship in England; red diesel is the duty rebate on agricultural fuel. This series starts in 2023; earlier editions used a different basis.

**Land under agri-environment schemes, thousand hectares**








Area under agreement at the year end, summed over schemes, so land in two schemes can be counted twice (England before 2023, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland). Wales had no scheme in 2024.

Accounts record spending when it is owed: all delinked payments to 2027-28 were counted in 2023-24, so they barely appear here, and a revaluation in 2024-25 shows as negative spending. The Basic Payment Scheme ended in England in 2023; delinked payments, not tied to farming land, replace it and shrink each year until 2027.

## Flood and coastal defences in England



Central government spent £1.4bn on flood and coastal erosion risk management in England in 2024-25, against
£509m in 2005-06. Most goes through the Environment Agency, which builds and maintains defences and runs flood
warnings; councils, internal drainage boards and water companies also manage flood risk. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland
fund flood defence through their own governments and councils, and their figures are in the drill-down under other environment protection.




**Central government spending on flood and coastal defence, England, £ million, cash**








In 2024-25 prices, Defra puts the total at £829m in 2005-06 and £1.4bn in 2024-25. Excludes Defra administration, research and depreciation, and councils’ own spending.

Homes better protected (to 2020-21) and properties better protected (from 2021-22, counting businesses and public buildings too) are the Environment Agency’s modelled estimates for schemes completed in the year; the two series are not comparable. Asset condition is the share of high-consequence defences at or above their target grade, 93.0% in 2025-26 Q4; from 2018-19 the year’s last quarter.

### England



Identifiable spending in England on environment protection and on agriculture, forestry and fishing (HM Treasury country and regional analysis): spending that can be identified as for the benefit of its residents. It is not all devolved: some is spent by UK departments. The Defra group row is the department’s own budget, a different measure that overlaps the Treasury’s headings above it (it pays for flood defences, farm schemes and much else); it is not part of their total.



**£17.5bn** in 2024-25 (cash); £18.1bn in 2025-26 prices; £299 per resident; +0.7% on a year earlier in cash, −3.2% in real terms.

### Rural Payments Agency: farm and land management schemes



Net scheme spending in the agency’s accounts (note 5), England. Accounts record spending when it is owed, not when it is paid: all delinked payments to 2027-28 were recognised in 2023-24, and a revaluation in 2024-25 shows as negative spending. For money paid out by calendar year, see the farm support section.

### Flood and coastal erosion risk management



Central government spending on flood and coastal defences in England: the Environment Agency’s capital and day-to-day spending, Defra’s own, and grants to lead local flood authorities. It leaves out Defra’s administration, research and depreciation, councils’ own spending from their general funding, and internal drainage boards’ levies. From 2021-22 the MHCLG grant to lead local flood authorities is no longer counted.



**£1.4bn** in 2024-25 (cash); £1.5bn in 2025-26 prices; £23.92 per resident; +13.4% on a year earlier in cash, +9.0% in real terms.

### Environment Agency (capital and day-to-day)



Capital (building and repairing defences) and day-to-day (maintenance, flood warnings, incident response); the split by year is in the flood defence section. Below, each committee area’s Environment Agency spending with the local levy councils pay, the agency’s national spending and the income netted off, as Defra publishes them for the last three years; they do not add exactly to the total above, which leaves out the levy.



**£1.4bn** in 2024-25 (cash); £1.4bn in 2025-26 prices; £23.85 per resident; +13.3% on a year earlier in cash, +8.9% in real terms.

### Councils in Scotland: waste services, net revenue spending



Every council’s net revenue spending on waste, added up (32 bodies’ returns, including county councils and joint waste authorities). A different measure from the Treasury’s figure above it: revenue only, after charges and other income. Each council’s figure, per household or per resident, is in the waste section and on the map.

The map covers the whole UK. Where the nations publish the same measure, they share one scale. Where they publish
different ones, each nation is shaded against its own measure on its own scale, named in its own part of the legend, and
the nations cannot be compared with each other. Where a nation publishes nothing for a measure, the map says so and links to
what it publishes instead. Pick an area for its figures and a link to its page.

As published by the paying agencies on the UK CAP payments site, Open Government Licence. Several of the largest
recipients are fruit and vegetable producer organisations, paid on behalf of their members. Recipients are
published only to postcode district, which does not map onto council areas, so no council figure is given. Every
recipient can be searched on [the CAP payments site](https://cap-payments.defra.gov.uk/) until it closes in May 2027.



The Sustainable Farming Incentive, England’s main new scheme, publishes no list of recipients. Defra’s statistics give the spread instead: on 27 October 2025, £848m a year was committed to 35,500 businesses, and When businesses in SFI are ranked by their annual income through SFI, the highest 4% of businesses will receive 25% of total annual revenue payments.

## Waste and recycling



Councils collect and dispose of household waste: in two-tier England the district collects and the county disposes.
England’s household recycling rate was 42.0% in 2024-25, up from 11.2% in 2000-01 but little changed for a decade. Recycling rates are measured differently in each nation, so each council is compared with its own nation only.




**Household waste sent for reuse, recycling or composting, and council waste sent to landfill, England, %**

What each measure counts



- Household waste sent for reuse, recycling or composting

Share of household waste collected by the authority that was sent for reuse, recycling or composting (Defra, formerly NI 192), England, financial years. Published for collection authorities (district councils), disposal authorities (county councils, counting everything collected in their area) and unitary councils; a district’s own figure is used where it has one.
- Residual household waste per household

Kilograms of household waste per household not sent for reuse, recycling or composting (Defra, formerly NI 191), England, financial years. Published for collection, disposal and unitary authorities.
- Council-collected waste sent to landfill

Share of local authority collected waste sent to landfill (Defra, formerly NI 193), England. Published for disposal and unitary authorities only, which decide where waste goes; districts have no figure.
- Spending on waste collection and recycling per household

The collection authority’s net revenue spending on waste collection and on recycling and waste minimisation, divided by the dwellings on its council tax list (MHCLG council taxbase). England: district, unitary, metropolitan and London borough councils, which all collect household waste. Net revenue spending from the council’s own return (MHCLG revenue outturn in England, Scottish Local Government Finance Statistics, StatsWales), after income such as charges for garden waste and bulky collections; capital spending on vehicles, depots and plants is left out.
- Spending on waste disposal per household

The council’s net revenue spending on waste disposal divided by the dwellings in its area. England. County councils and unitaries dispose of waste; in some metropolitan areas and parts of London a joint waste authority does it and charges the councils a levy, which is not in these lines, so figures are not comparable between councils. Net revenue spending from the council’s own return (MHCLG revenue outturn in England, Scottish Local Government Finance Statistics, StatsWales), after income such as charges for garden waste and bulky collections; capital spending on vehicles, depots and plants is left out.
- Spending on waste per resident

The council’s net revenue spending on waste collection, disposal and recycling per resident (ONS mid-year estimate). Scotland and Wales, where every council is single-tier; compare within a nation. Net revenue spending from the council’s own return (MHCLG revenue outturn in England, Scottish Local Government Finance Statistics, StatsWales), after income such as charges for garden waste and bulky collections; capital spending on vehicles, depots and plants is left out.
- Household waste recycled (Scotland)

Share of household waste recycled, calendar year (SEPA). Scotland’s measure counts differently from England’s and Wales’s, so it is compared within Scotland only.
- Municipal waste reused, recycled or composted (Wales)

Share of local authority municipal waste reused, recycled or composted, the statutory target measure (Welsh Government). It covers more than household waste, so it is compared within Wales only.
- Household waste prepared for reuse, dry recycled or composted (Northern Ireland)

Share of household waste arisings prepared for reuse, dry recycled or composted (DAERA, KPI (a2)), financial years, from the four quarters of DAERA’s time series added together. DAERA says other nations’ figures are not always measured the same way, so it is compared within Northern Ireland only.
- Household waste not recycled per person (Scotland)

Kilograms per person of household waste not recycled: SEPA’s household waste generated per person less household waste recycled per person, calendar year. Per person rather than per household, and on Scotland’s own definitions, so it is compared within Scotland only.
- Residual household waste per dwelling (Wales)

Annual residual household waste produced per dwelling, in kilograms, as the Welsh Government publishes it (StatsWales), financial years. Compared within Wales only.
- Household waste not reused, recycled or composted per household (Northern Ireland)

Kilograms per household of household waste not prepared for reuse, dry recycled or composted: DAERA’s household waste arisings less the tonnes counted in its KPI (a2), over the year-end housing stock DAERA uses for KPI (h). Compared within Northern Ireland only.

## Where the money comes from, and who does the work



The Environment Agency spent £2.3bn in 2025-26 (£2.1bn in 2024-25); 74% of its funding came from Defra and most of the rest from charges. Its charges raised £537m against £566m of costs they are meant to cover.

## What these figures do and don't show



- **Farm support is counted three ways here, and they do not match.** Agriculture in the UK counts payments by calendar year when they are paid; the Rural Payments Agency’s accounts count spending when it is owed; the Treasury’s figures are by financial year and include administration. Each table says which it is.
- **Recipient data stopped with the CAP.** The UK CAP payments site lists payments made under the CAP and retained CAP rules; its last year for England, Scotland and Wales is October 2023 to October 2024, and it closes in May 2027. The Sustainable Farming Incentive and other new schemes publish no list of recipients, only totals and distributions.
- **Flood defence and waste figures are England only** unless a table says otherwise: Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland fund flood defence through their own governments and councils, and their council waste returns count differently.
- **Outputs are shown beside the money, not as its result.** Properties better protected are the Environment Agency’s modelled estimates of schemes completed in the year; recycling rates depend on what households throw away, local markets and how councils collect.
- **Council waste spending is net revenue spending.** It is after charges such as garden waste collection and leaves out capital spending on vehicles and plants; in two-tier areas the district collects and the county disposes, so the two are shown separately.
- **Council figures are keyed by the council that publishes them.** Recycling rates exist for districts, counties and unitaries; spending per household for collection authorities. The map shows a district’s own figure where it has one.

## Common questions


Who pays for flood defences?
In England mostly central government, through Defra and the Environment Agency, with contributions from councils (the local levy), businesses and others under partnership funding. In Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland flood defence is funded by the devolved governments and councils.Can I see who received farm payments?
For payments under the Common Agricultural Policy and the rules kept after Brexit, yes: the UK CAP payments site names every recipient of £1,114 or more, to October 2024 (October 2025 in Northern Ireland), until it closes in May 2027. The new schemes, such as England’s Sustainable Farming Incentive, publish totals and distributions but not recipients.
