> Some of the parishes within England (eg Brighton) share kml files of all the council-owned agricultural land, which we may be able to use as a starting point. I’m not sure how receptive the council will be!

> One approach that might work would be to find a publicly managed location that is being operated as a farm. For example, there seem to be a few living history museums built around historical farms. We could try reaching out to [https://alhfam.org](https://alhfam.org) or a similar organization to see if they know of a historical farm with an existing rich GIS dataset in the public domain or with a permissive license. (From either historical or present-day farming activities.)

> I was wondering about Universities / Colleges as well - most have research farms and may have datasets that are public use.
