Defining MFS with statistical data

Definition

The existing FADN mixed farming definition is based upon the economic standard output (FADN,2014) of a farm.

In simple terms, a farm is classified as mixed if it has economic outputs from cash crops and animal products (meat, milk).

According to the main economic output, various sub-categories further refine mixed farms into cropping, livestock and other categories, though these may include a wide diversity of farms.
