Agriculture
Purpose
Agriculture remains the dominant activity in terms of land use and land management. The relationship between agriculture and planning has changed as three crucial changes have taken place over the past two decades. This knowledge builder explores that relationship.
Benefits
This knowledge builder will help you consider the shifts in agricultural policy in relation to planning. The main change has been the move away from the presumption of food production to protecting agriculture. Rather than protecting land on the basis of its productivity the environmental value of the countryside is considered.
Audience
Urban and regional planners and all those wishing to build and assess their knowledge of the topic.
Learning method
Knowledge builder offering a well presented overview of the topic and its relevance to planning with links to appropriate on-line sites. Additionally a comprehensive range of further reading is provided for those who wish to become expert in the subject. Includes voluntary self assessment for recording continuous professional development (CPD).
