The report underlines the fact that life in the countryside has less than ever to do with farmers. At the last count, out of 14 million people living in rural areas in England, only 174,000 of them were in full time agricultural work, 0.3% ofthe population. However, while farming lost 33,000 full time jobs from 1998-2001, it gained 10,000 part-timers, and there are now 150,000 occasional farmers and labourers in England.
