Baseline Scan
The primary purpose of the baseline scanning project was to provide an evidence base of the key external trends, driving forces, emerging issues and potential 'wildcards' (low probability, high impact events) which could have the greatest impact on Defra's external environment.

Note: not all of the appendices are available via this site due to their considerable size. If you would like a copy, please contact the horizon scanning and futures team.
