−	~~‘Hedging’ is~~ the term ~~used~~ to ~~denote~~ the ~~manipulation~~ of ~~hedges for specific purposes in landscape applications~~.	+	This article refers hedges as barriers comprising closely-spaced shrubs or trees that demarcate an area of land. However, the term ‘hedge’ or ‘hedging’ can also refer to an investment made to mitigate against the potential price movements of an asset.

−	A hedge ~~is a barrier comprising closely-spaced shrubs (or sometimes small trees) that has for centuries been used to demarcate neighbouring land and property. It~~ is called a ‘hedgerow’ when it has been established for several years and incorporates larger trees, separating fields from roads and as a boundary between fields. Trees in a hedgerow can reach their full mature heights and it is estimated there are around 1.8 million ~~of them~~ in the UK.	+	A hedge is called a ‘hedgerow’ when it has been established for several years and incorporates larger trees, separating fields from roads and as a boundary between fields.

	Hedging was used as far back as Neolithic times (4000 BC – 2000 BC) to enclose land for cereal crops and was used as an element of landscape throughout the medieval age, right through to the 18th and 19th centuries when they were used to enclose heaths and uplands. Throughout these periods, hedges have also been a much-exploited source of firewood. It has been estimated that some hedgerows in the UK, Ireland and Low Countries may be as much as 800 years old.

−	In making the transition from low intensity to high-intensity farmed land, hedgerows have been removed, thereby creating larger fields for mechanised farming and easier sowing and harvesting. With the advent of modern agricultural technology, hedgerow removal has been ongoing in the UK since the end of the first world war. This process has slowed in recent years, first, as cheap food imports have reduced the demand on British farming; second, ~~thanks to EU~~ agricultural policy ~~which~~ has thrown the spotlight on environmental consequences of farming, encouraging hedgerow conservation and replanting.	+	In making the transition from low intensity to high-intensity farmed land, many hedgerows have been removed, thereby creating larger fields for mechanised farming and easier sowing and harvesting.
