Welcome to our 2022 Land & Rural Review in which we aim to provide practical guidance and insight to support land and rural businesses through challenging and continually changing business conditions.

Just as we get used to living with Covid-19 and return to more familiar working and living conditions, the war in Ukraine and increasing inflation threaten ongoing business recovery.

These are complicated issues and too difficult to find solutions for in our annual publication, and so whilst acknowledging the difficulties being faced, we hope that our topics in this edition are interesting, of relevance and practical.
