The original Peatlands and Payments analysis (Phase 1) was undertaken in early 2021. This was an unpublished report for RESAS and SG policy teams. This used 2018 farm payments data and a version of the peatlands mapping that did not report the area of woodlands on peat.
The Peatlands and Payments (Phase 2) analysis undertaken in early 2022 updated the payments to 2019 and added the woodland class, but the summary data focused only on the businesses >1000 ha. This was again an unpublished report for RESAS and SG policy teams.
