The stacked bar chart has a horizontal axis showing years from 1992 to 2024 in increments of 1 year. The vertical axis shows numerical values ranging from 0 to 8 in increments of 1 unit. A legend identifies five categories: “Agri-food”, “Conservation”, “Public sector”, “Recreation”, and “Forestry”. Bars represent yearly totals composed of stacked segments for each category. From 1992 through the late 1990s, there were no visible bars. From around 2001 to 2005, small values appear, mostly from “Agri-food” and occasional contributions from “Conservation” and “Public sector”, with totals generally between 1 and 3. Between 2006 and 2010, the bars remained low, with totals around 1 to 2. From 2011 onward, the stacked bars increase in both height and diversity of categories. Between 2012 and 2016, totals rise to around 3 to 4, with visible contributions from all five sectors. From 2017 to 2019, the totals increase further to about 5 to 8, with larger contributions from “Agri-food” and “Public sector”, and additional segments from “Recreation” and “Forestry”. From 2020 to 2024, the highest values appear, with totals reaching up to approximately 8. These years show more balanced contributions across categories, with “Agri-food” often forming the base, “Conservation” and “Public sector” contributing mid segments, and “Recreation” and “Forestry” appearing as upper-stacked segments.
