This research explores how evolving land use policy, shifting subsidy frameworks, and longstanding landownership structures are influencing the future of farm tenancies in the North East of England. In the context of the UK’s post鈥態rexit agricultural transition, the study investigates how tenant farmers experience increasing expectations around environmental management, business resilience, and long鈥憈erm security. Using a qualitative design centered on in鈥慸epth, semi鈥憇tructured interviews with tenant farmers, landowners, agents, policymakers, and support organisations, the research examines the financial, social, emotional, and wellbeing鈥憆elated factors shaping decisions across the farming lifecycle. By analysing the interplay between agricultural policy, tenure arrangements, and the lived realities of those working within the tenanted sector, the study aims to illuminate barriers to equitable land access, understand how recent policy reforms are felt on the ground, and contribute evidence supporting more sustainable rural livelihoods and resilient farming communities.
