The Living Land (eBook, PDF)

Agriculture, Food and Community Regeneration in the 21st Century

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The Living Land sets out a new 'stakeholder' vision for rural regeneration in Europe. It integrates three themes: sustainable agriculture, localised food systems and rural community development. All three offer ways of rebuilding natural and social capital, and a large 'sustainability dividend' is waiting to be released from current practices - creating more jobs, more wealth and better lives from less.
