Under history, link Industrial Revolution. This is helpful for readers who want to read more into it. Currently, it's a red dead link. 90.243.63.3 (talk) 08:15, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
Fixed. That was originally red-linked due to the period being erroneously inside the brackets; it's good to go now. Left guide (talk) 10:17, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

At present, the main image in the infobox at the start of the page doesn't represent the City of England well. It's just a few buildings. Could it be updated to this image, linked here? This image represents the City of London better. Antandbec (talk) 22:15, 22 November 2024 (UTC) — Antandbec (talk · contribs) is a confirmed sock puppet of Lam312321321 (talk · contribs).
Not done for now: The suggested image's primary buidling is clearly London Troops War Memorial, no relation to the article. ~/AWBunny:<ping> 08:18, 24 November 2024 (UTC)

Currently, the food sector and farming sector subparagraphs aren't detailed enough and look like a list, almost unencyclopædia. I have tried to improve it, could this be added?

Food and drinkThe food and drinks industry is an important sector in England, worth £10.2 bn as of 2021.[1][2] The food and drink industry is an important sector in the English economy consisting of hot and alcoholic beverages, spices, cereals, livestock, fisheries, sugar and honey.[3] The top food and drinks export categories are agriculture and fisheries; alcoholic beverages (such as gin, wine, and whisky) (£2.3 bn), miscellaneous (£1.7 bn), jot beverages (such as coffee and tea) and spices (£1.2 bn, and sugar and honey (£245.4 m).[4] The top export destination for food and drinks exports from England is Ireland with 15% of all exports at a value of £1.5bn in 2021. There were also increases in exports to France and the USA with exports up by 12% and 10% respectively, with Germany and the Netherlands also among the top five export markets for the English food and drink sector.[5][6] Agriculture and fishing Agriculture is intensive, highly mechanised and efficient by European standards, producing 60% of food needs with only 2% of the labour force.[7] Two-thirds of production is devoted to livestock, the other to arable crops.[8] The main crops that are grown are wheat, barley, oats, potatoes, sugar beets. England retains a significant and large fishing industry. Its fleets bring home fish of every kind, ranging from sole to herring. It is also rich in natural resources including coal, petroleum, natural gas, tin, limestone, iron ore, salt, clay, chalk, gypsum, lead, and silica.[9][10] The United Kingdom fishing industry contributed £446 million in 2019 in terms of Gross Value Added (GVA); this represents 0.02% of the UK's total GVA.[11] In 2021, 53% of fishers were based in England and Wales, 40% in Scotland and 8% in Northern Ireland. The largest English region was the South West, contributing 10% of overall output in the sector. The fishing industry in England catches a variety of different fish and seafood, including North Sea Cod, North Sea Whiting, North Sea Haddock, Southern Sea Crab, West of Scotland Nephrops and Eastern English Channel Scallops.[12] The Environment Agency is a non-departmental public body, established in 1995 and sponsored by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs with responsibilities relating to the protection and enhancement of the environment in England.[13] The Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs is the minister responsible for environmental protection, agriculture, fisheries and rural communities in England.[14] Alcoholic beverages In 2018, England sold 550,000 bottles of English wine to 50 countries worldwide, this is up from 256,000 in 2018.[15][16] In 2022 the total value of English wine exports was £9.6 million ($11.8 million) with 800,000 bottles sold.[17] Major English wine brands include: Ridgeview Bloomsbury, Bolney Wine Estate, Lyme Bay, Aldwick Court Farm, Hattingley Valley, Lyme Block, Chapel Down, Brightwell Vineyard, and Stopham Estate.[18] As of March 2021 there are more distilleries in England (311) than in Scotland (214); this is due to an increase in English gin sales which increased the number of English distilleries to over 300 for the first time.[19] The EWG conducted a survey of English distilleries. The survey found there are currently 38,000 casks of English Whisky maturing in distillery warehouses with an estimated 50,000 casks expected to be laid down by distilleries by the end of 2024. The total value of the maturing stock estimated to exceed 1bn during this period.[20] English Whisky distilleries have created 443 jobs across England and is sold internationally in 32 countries around the world including: Japan, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Canada, Singapore and the USA.[20][21] Major English whisky brands include: English Whisky Co, Cotswolds, The Lakes, Bimber, The Oxford Artisan, and Dartmoor.[22] In March 2024, the English Whisky Co sherry cask single malt whisky was named the best single malt in the world both by the Whisky Magazine at the Merchant Taylors Hall and as part of the World Whiskies Awards.[23][24] References
