What is the cross sector workforce?
The Cross sector workforce covers people employed by businesses working across more than one of the food and fibre sectors. Many tasks outsourced to contracting firms fall into this category, especially for horticulture.
This information expands on and interprets our data visualisation for all sectors, which can be filtered by sector and parts of it, like processing or production.
