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.
