  1. The attached dataset has been updated to follow Government Statistical Service accessibility guidelines. These updates should make the data more accessible to people using screen readers and other assistive technology, and should also make the data more easily machine-readable.

  2. Updated data on the ITL2_area tab of the workbook to include agreements with an "Unknown" region. Totals were also updated to include these agreements. These were previously filtered out. Caveats have also been updated to explain changes.

  3. The data caveats section in the attached dataset has been updated to note that the SFI22 scheme has closed, and most agreements are in the process of being transferred to SFI23. A footnote about this has also been added to to the SFI22 Action Summary page, and the footnotes reordered. The ITL2 Area tab has been moved to make it the second worksheet in the workbook, and the contents have been updated to reflect this.

  4. First published.
