What keeps farmers awake at night?

We run an ongoing research programme that seeks to give agency to farmers to share what keeps them awake at night.

Understanding the full picture and recognising that behind every field and farm gate lies a complex web of risk, resilience, and responsibility will support better decisions in policy, communications, engagement and support.

If you require a copy of the data or greater analysis on a specific topic, please email hello@groundedresearch.co.uk with your request and we will help where we can. 

The Responses

Over 2,000 responses are live on our website dating back to September 2024 and you can read and filter by by location, farm size, farm type and farm system. We will be adding responses every month.

The Report

Our tracking study started in September 2024, we reached 2,000 responses and the report of the findings was launched at the Future Countryside Event in May 2025.
